Duh-tah
Just kidding. I say day-ta. Although dah-ta slips out every so often.
Depends on the context. I have day-ta, you have dah-ta. They use dah-ta, and their conclusions are supported by the day-ta. That day-tabase holds lots of day-ta, and that dah-ta sent across the network.
I like to use the linguistic Molotov cocktail of 'Datums' pronounced 'Day tums'
Day-yo!
I love the tropics.
Come Data banana, me wanna go home.
Datorade, because relentless 21st century advertising has put worms in my brain.
D@-ah
dah-ta
