maybe Americans just can't make that vowel sound?
"Oh, you're British, ...really?" is almost always followed by "Say 'Harry Potter', you know, like Snape does.....PLEASE"

That's really making me laugh. I might have to video myself saying Harry Potter for you. I can't think of any other way to say it?! Oh and pasta rhymes with Rasta for me too. And not with faster, but with hasta. Does that help? Nice call on the two syllable Scottish poor, Limey.
