As an American and originally from the mid-west, I pronounce it “day-ta”.
Yes
The only proper way to pronounce data is the way Captain Jean Luc Picard pronounces it.
Day-ter
Da-tah.
I feel like this thread is missing Australians and Kiwis saying that it’s neither /ˈdeɪtə/ nor /ˈdætə/ but actually /ˈdɐːtə/. One of the Australian post docs in the group in which I did my thesis used that last one.
Both. I feel like one of them always tends to fit the conversation better than the other, but which one that is seems to be totally random.
Same with Caribbean. Royal Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean both sound wrong if you use the alternate pronunciation.
Dahtum
Dayta
You’re forgetting the third pronunciation, Dat-uh. “Dat,” as in DAT ASS youknowwhatI’msayin
Like this
Pulaski?
One is my name. The other is not.
I mean the man told us how he prefers it, I don’t understand why this is so hard for people
Edit: typo
Day-ta. The latter is how Americans pronounce it?
Some do. I say day-ta as do most of the people I’ve worked with across the US
I pronounce it “data” of course.
Of course! That’s the only way to say it, all others are wrong!
Agreed. Does it have two Ts? Then it’s not datta which you just instinctively rest as dah-ta
Depends on how much Star Trek we’ve been watching lately.
so, always Dayta.
Data is a proper noun, data is not.
Applicable to many areas of my life
Both, randomly switching between them
Same, and when I catch myself doing that, I wonder why I do it, then move on with life and do it again later.
Day-ta
Ditto
Dih-toe
Die-toe
That’s German and means “the toe”
Die Bart die
Die über toe!
You should probably see a podiatrist for that problem.
Dit toh
Dy-do
This is the way
