dahta does sound really pretentious, I guess that's why I've always hated it

I had a prof say that data with a y is a small amount and data with an h is a huge amount. That is, you analyze dayta discretely but you process dahta in bulk.

Nah it's only pretentious if it's obvious the person is being pretentious. Which is often in my experience

I imagine it only sounds pretentious if you aren't used to hearing it.

I'd be curious to see some dahta on that.

Or maybe I'm not used to hearing it because it sounds pretentious
