In one case, I presume we're talking about Ashkenazim whose minhag is
that "ah" is always a patach. Therefore, according to the speaker's
own minhag, that pronunciation is "My Masters". But if the person's
minhag is that a tzeirei and a patach are supposed to sound the same,
the ambiguity is halachically correct. Like sin vs samekh. Or (in most
havaros) tes and tav.

Tir'u baTov!
