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
Like this
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
Pulaski?
Depends on how much Star Trek we’ve been watching lately.
so, always Dayta.
Data is a proper noun, data is not.
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.
Day-ta
Ditto
Dih-toe
Die-toe
That’s German and means “the toe”
Dit toh
Dahtum
Dayta
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.
Yes
The only proper way to pronounce data is the way Captain Jean Luc Picard pronounces it.
Both. I am german and I speak a weird amalgamation of british and american english.
Same minus the german part
Dah-ta in a day-tabase.
precisely.
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
If it’s well structured then day ta. If it’s more raw then dah ta.
Idk why, why the second way sounds more raw.
You’re forgetting the third pronunciation, Dat-uh. “Dat,” as in DAT ASS youknowwhatI’msayin
Day-tah
And it’s uncountable.
