Day-ter
Yes
Da-tah.
The only proper way to pronounce data is the way Captain Jean Luc Picard pronounces it.
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.
Day-ta. The latter is how Americans pronounce it?
You’re forgetting the third pronunciation, Dat-uh. “Dat,” as in DAT ASS youknowwhatI’msayin
Dahtum
Dayta
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.
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.
dətə
It doesn’t matter. Pronounce it either way because it’s acceptable.
Language is fluid and communication is about understanding the intent of what you’re saying. If someone doesn’t know what you mean by pronouncing it either way, then they are being obtuse and need a quick punch in the dongle.
This is why I pronounce it DAH-TAY
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, o don’t understand why this is so hard for people
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.
