The singular spelling variants "potato" vs. "potatoe" co-existed into the 19th century. In the 20th century "potato" came to be considered the correct singular, and "potatoe" considered a misspelling. The plural remains "potatoes'".

Vice President of the United States Dan Quayle became notoriously associated with this misspelling in a June 15, 1992 incident. Quayle went to a photo op at Munoz Rivera School in Trenton, New Jersey, where he was to officiate a spelling bee by drawing flash cards and asking students to write the words on the blackboard. Twelve-year-old William Figueroa wrote potato, but Quayle prompted him to append an "e" which, according to Quayle's 1995 autobiography Standing Firm, was the spelling on the flash card. The incident made national news in the United States and became a source of entertainment for the tabloid newspapers in the United Kingdom.

So a name change might be a good idea.

That's a really nice setup. I also really like that leather sofa, where did you get it from? Looks really comfy and stylish.

Couch was actually a hand me down, my brother moved to a new house and they couldnt fit it thru the doors. i stepped in and agreed to look after it! i had to take all the doors off the hinges to fit it in!!
