I do
I do, but that’s because “now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time.”
If anyone would know how to pronounce it, it’s a computer
Yes. I’m British.
Exactly what I was gonna say.
I’ve taught statistics for over 20 years. I flipflop on this constantly, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. Even more disturbing: I don’t have a consistent position, at least grammatically, on whether it’s singular or plural.
It’s sort of like the dual pronunciation of the word ‘a’ in English. While that has more distinct rules, it’s still mostly which one feels nicer.
Another one for me is “route”.
edit: On further thought, it only works both ways as a synonym for a highway, if I’m talking about a path more generally the root pronunciation sounds wrong.
If you mean like “Dei-tuh” , then yah . Just sounds more natural to me

This is the way.
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.
Yes, I’m from the UK and that’s just how it’s said here.
I pronounce it ta da~! , jazz hands included
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

I pronounce it data. Guess I thought everyone did.
Me too. Out of interest do you pronounce it ‘gif’ as well?
Same
I know it’s me just being a particular asshole, but I really don’t like the pronunciation data… it’s honestly tiresome, problematic, and outdated. It’s pronounced DATA.
I vacillate between the two. Really depends on the words surrounding “data”.
I alternate between the two pronunciations depending on whatever I vibe with at the time, much like with how I spell colour/color
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.
