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
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
Like this
One is my name. The other is not.
Pulaski?
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
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.
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.
Yes
Dah-ta in a day-tabase.
precisely.
Yes.
Dahtum
Dayta
Both. I am german and I speak a weird amalgamation of british and american english.
Same minus the german part
Same
Yep, finding myself there, too. Mostly depends on what bit of music/show/media I have listened to/watched most recently :D
The only proper way to pronounce data is the way Captain Jean Luc Picard pronounces it.
It depends on how many ay’s and ah’s are in my sentence. My mouth seems to natural conform to whatever has more as I speak at 9 million words per minute.
By itself or in short sentences, I default to day-ta, but otherwise I’m exactly the same.
As an American and originally from the mid-west, I pronounce it “day-ta”.
Data.
That pronunciation always drives me wild! it only makes sense to call it data.
