Do you pronounce the word “data” like the Star Trek character? (Day-ta)

I vacillate between the two. Really depends on the words surrounding “data”.

I only say data the way it's said in Star Trek. Same for database.

A local radio DJ said once that if he's feeling fancy he says "Da Ta" like "ta-da!" Cracked me up way more that it should have.

I alternate between the two pronunciations depending on whatever I vibe with at the time, much like with how I spell colour/color

American. Day-duh.

Data: First, the two A's/vowels:

The first of two A's gets the "Aey" sound, the second gets the "Ah" sound.

Then, because I'm from California, the ah becomes uh.

Then, similarly, the "tuh" has a hard T at the beginning. But again because California/USA, the T becomes a D (British: butter ("buttah", hard t's), usa: budder(soft t's or d's))

Thus: day-duh.

I use them interchangeably 🙈

Yes, i watched TNG before (and during) i learned English

Doita?

Depends on the language I’m speaking, but I usually say da-ta, because data is a Portuguese word for date, and when I switch to English and keep the Portuguese pronunciation (and sometimes I even mix up both words but that’s another story)

D@-a

As more data becomes available

Then we can start doing more with it

And as we do more with it

That that creates more data

Data, I think because of digimon
