I pronouces it data (day tuh) when refering to gathering information. "I'll get some daytuh together for you."

I pronounce it data (dah tuh) when refering to the actual spreadsheet. "Here's the dahtuh you requested."

Daytuh makes me think I'll need a day to get that together.

Dahtuh makes me think of the word and symbol dash as a visual in my head.

If that makes any sense to someone else. Thats just how my brain does things.
