Day-tay.
The first step to another Taylor Swift song.
It’s me
Hi
I’m the data it’s me
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
Data
Potato potato
Sometimes day-ta, but more often da-tuh, with the first a being pronounced like acrobat, the second as a schwa.
“Dah-ta”
Source: Kiwi accent
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.
Day-tah
But I’m from the UK. Anything else would sound bizarre with my accent
Day-ta
Ditto
Dih-toe
Die-toe
That’s German and means “the toe”
Die Bart die
Die über toe!
Dit toh
This is the way
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
Depends. Do you mean the Android Day-Ta? Or you mean the Information Unit Datah.
Came here to say, one is his name, the other is not.
Still calling it “The Chat Gippity” though
I flip flop back and forth, I’m not totally sure if there’s a specific rhyme or reason to my choices, it may just come down to a subjective feeling about which I think sounds better in the sentence.
My wife is a dayta analyst, and she analyzes dahta.
data… dad - d + ta
the other way doesn’t bother me though… unlike “experiment”.
it freaks me out when people throw a “spear” in that wordYes.
It’s regional. I grew up in Australia, where it’s pronounced as it is in the US: dah-tah. But I now live in the UK, where it’s pronounced day-tah.
The same is true of “router”, the network device (but not the woodworking tool): rau-tah vs roo-ter.
Working in IT made it a ballache for a while until I remembered to always change my pronunciation for them. 🙄
Lifetime New Yorker, its Day-ta (actually I hear both all the time).
If were talking about a collection of information…“datta”. If we’re talking about the worlds’ favorite android, his name sounds like “Day-tah”.
