I've looked it up a bunch of times and I still don't know if potable is "POTE-ah-bull" or "POT-ah-bull"
The first one, as it comes from the Latin "potare," "to drink." Sure, we could use "drinkable" instead, but too many people would understand how to say it and what it meant.
what about pote-ah-bull
That is what I was going for with my first option, I am just bad at phonics
Potent Potables -- from (SNL's) Celebrity Jeopardy.
I say it the first way. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
it's /ˈpoːdəbl/ in American English anyway.
