I thought everyone else was pronouncing it wrong. I figured pot-able water meant water that was safe to consume, treated. I.E. Safe to put in a pot to boil up some ramen or oatmeal in the galley.
Why is it called/pronounced poh-table?
Not trying to be a jack ---, just trying to learn. Thanks.
Because that's how it's said to be pronounced in the Delta Flight Operations Manual, duh!!
