Literally never. I'm from the Bay Area / Rural Northern California, and my accent and verbiage doesn't slide that way.

Never. I guess where I grew up I have the generic American accent with a bit of Chicano slang twang, but I always say “to.”

Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever calls a potato a 'po-tah-to'. To-mah-to, yes, but nobody in the world uses potahto.

In fact, some people here call tomatoes 'tamaddaz'.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
I'm listening to an audio tape being read by an AI, and it does pretty well but whenever it comes upon "my" it shortens it to "m'."

"I grabbed m'bag and headed out the door."
"M'leg hurt."
"I would be in trouble if m'grades didn't improve."

So I was saying a few phrases out loud that I thought I always enunciated properly, but I apparently do say “where’d’ja go?” instead of “where did you go?”

My life has been a total lie.

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...

I remember as a kid I was confused about the spelling of 'comfortable' because to me it seemed everyone always said "comf-ter-ble."
