How do you say data?

[Germonica]

Do you pronounce data "Da-tah" or "Day-tah?"

I personally pronounce it Day-tah. And I am from Las Vegas.

Also, which region of the United States/Country do you live in, we'll see if the pronounciation varies with those factors...

[Vitius]

Da-ta. I hail (cool word) from southeast Michigan.

[New Auditore]

I pronounce it day-tah and I'm from the South, Florida to be exact.

[Lykosia]

Da-ta. well, I'm not american, or british.

[Cannot think of a name]

I change back and forth. Mostly like they did on Star Trek, Day-ta. I'm from Northern California.

Most of the time I'll say day-ta, I'm trying to come up with the criteria for when I say it the other way, but it's kind of hard to define.

Ditto as above. Same way as Star Trek

I pronounce it both "day-ta" and "dah-ta" depending on how I think it sounds within the context of the sentence. I guess I say "dah-ta" more often. I'm from the bay area in Michigan

[Xarithis]

"Day-tah", usually, though I use "Da-tah" on occasion.

And here's a question, when you say "data," however you say "data," do you say "the data is" or "the data are"?

[The Truth and Light]

I've been known to pronounce it both ways. Same with other words, sometimes I say cart and sometimes I say buggy. It varies.
