Current Events > Do you pronounce data as dah-ta or date-ah?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I say date-ah because that was hammered into my head as the "correct" way at a young age, but I refuse to belittle those who say dah-ta.

It was always a weird trigger for my father, ever since I could remember he would non-stop mock people behind their back over this. Even to this day, he still brings it up and fixates on it.

Day-da

day-ta

I relay the information using binary so we dont have to engage in such silly human rituals as pronunciation.

The way Data pronounces it

Date-ah. Probably thanks to Star Trek.

I default to "date-ah", but I have heard people use "dat-ah".

date-uh, because I'm not british

Americans say dah tuh
British say Day tuh

I'm an American that says day tuh because I watched Star Trek Next Generation before I knew how I was "supposed" to say it. Still say day tuh in my 40s

DayTOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Both actually.
