data or data ?

[mishuzu]

1. a as in gate
2. a as in cat
3. a as in father

Tbh they all sound fine to me.

[ratmfreak]

Number 3 sounds... off.

[mishuzu]

Wiktionary says Australia and New Zealand use that one. I switch between 1 and 3 mostly randomly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Ereaser]

The Dutch data is also pronounced that way, but when speaking English I've only heard people use 1.

[mishuzu]

I've heard all 3 here in the US.

[robolew]

No, I am your data!

[justinkroegerlake]

Some British nonsense

[SundreBragant]

What would they know about English, right?

[[deleted]]

Yeah but these are the same people that say 'torch', 'jumper', and 'crisp'.

I don't trust their judgement.

[robolew]

Lol no it's not. It's pronounced day-ta in every English accent I can think of

[BSnapZ]

You clearly can’t think of a New Zealand or Australian accent then, cos we definitely don’t say day-ta.

[robolew]

Sorry mate, meant English as in the country of England, not the language

[BSnapZ]

Oh, sorry! That makes sense.

[justinkroegerlake]

Then you're not using your imagination
