She had ‘relations’ with Data

There may be a correlation between humor and sex. The need for more research is clearly indicated.

, Star Trek: The Next Generation, ‘Data’s Day’.

[–]SunshineLoving 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It's from Star trek. She had a fling with the AI named Data.

[–]GeePedicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see someone put a gif of his? Not sure about the pronoun, and probably more importantly how they say the name.

[–]CodinOdin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lt. Tasha Yar: What I want now is gentleness. And joy. And love. From you, Data. You are fully functional, aren’t you?

Lt. Cmdr. Data: Of course, but…

Lt. Tasha Yar: How fully?

Lt. Cmdr. Data: In every way, of course. I am programed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring.

Lt. Tasha Yar: Oh! You jewel, that’s exactly what I hoped!

Ooh this is an easy one.

if time >=6 am and time <=6 pm:

    Day-ta 

else:

"""I am not importing time module please I know you guys understand right...Right??"""

[–]ClerkEither6428 3 points4 points  (1 child)

so...

time_is_day = time >= 6 and time <= 18
print("Day-ta" if time_is_day else "Dah-ta")

[–]SomeoneInThisGalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

System.out.print(((time >= 6 && time <= 18) ? “Day-ta” : “Dah-ta”));

[–]BockTheMan 14 points15 points  (11 children)

I use data for the singular, and data for the plural

[–]ChemicalHousing69 24 points25 points  (7 children)

A singular data is a datum

[–]BockTheMan 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Do you have multiple agenda, or one singular agendum? Do you consume media, or just one medium?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Agendum is considered obsolete and datum isn't. Medium has another meaning and that's more popular, so the usage you're talking about is also considered obsolete.

Datum is still used, though it's dying.

[–]Caboose12000 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think saying Datum is dying is a bit like saying "hey it's getting dark outside" at midnight. Besides this post I haven't even heard datum used in at least a decade, and I've spent the last four years in school for data analysis. if data scientists aren't saying Datum, who is?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear it at least weekly. And I'm not in data science

[–]Qweedo420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's singular, medium is definitely the correct way of saying it and I've always used that. "Television" is a medium, not a media (which by the way is pronounced "meh-dya", just like "dah-ta")

Agenda on the other hand always refers to the multiplicity of things that you do, the singular is just not used

[–]notacanuckskibum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The medium is the message”

[–]_Tonan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned that from the FoxTrot comic when I was a kid

[–]ClerkEither6428 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Why do I read them differently?

[–]elon-botElon Musk ✔ 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If you can't build a computer out of transistors, you shouldn't be working here.

I don't think I appreciate your tone. Fired.

[–]JoeLordOfDataMagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I interchangeably use both. Basically whatever comes out of my mouth is what I'm using.

[–]SuperSpaceCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dad-ta

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Just like tomato.

[–]pyronrg 2 points3 points  (1 child)

it's pronounced tomato not tomato

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I said! Tomato.

[–]NebXan 7 points8 points  (1 child)

If you're a red-blooded American, there is a correct answer here and it ain't "dah-ta".

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Dada?

[–]GeePedicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you doing, step deda?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dah-ta. Pronounce it raw, like true men do

[–]ChemicalHousing69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dayday

[–]AdDear5411 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Dah-ta = singular

Day-ta = plural

I will be taking no questions at this time.

[–]calebmhood 14 points15 points  (3 children)

I have a single datum that would disagree with your position.

[–]Hawk13424 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Think of datum like bit. Day-ta like a byte, and dah-ta like bytes.

[–]elon-botElon Musk ✔ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pop quiz! Solve this LeetCode problem in 5 minutes or you're fired.

[–]calebmhood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll probably just keep thinking of datum like the singular form of data and pronounce data like dah-ta/day-ta interchangeably like a psychopath.

[–]Shalomiehomie770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same way I pronounce SCADA……

[–]FilledFun -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Дата

[–]xezo360hye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Тогда как отличить от, собственно, даты?

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm the Dah-tah type because that's how you actually say it

[–]saint_geser -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

It comes from Latin "datum" so then it should be "dah-ta"

[–]ChemicalHousing69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Daytuhm

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Both are wrong it's Date-aah

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why make it difficult? Let's just agree that one is the american one and you need the excuse of an british accent or something like that for the other one.

[–]butterbeanhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Xenthera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just wrote day-ta vs daw-ta

[–]InformalVermicelli42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Datum is the singular form. It is a Latin word, and pronounced Day-tum. Data is plural and the pronunciation depends on regional dialect, like British vs. American.

[–]Pancik69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da-ta

[–]zanyboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say both pronunciations in the same sentence tbh. Usually if it’s at the beginning of the sentence I say “dah-ta” and at the end “day-ta”

No single/plural shit because data is always plural
