Data, I think because of digimon
If you mean like "Dei-tuh" , then yah . Just sounds more natural to me
I pronounce it ta da~! , jazz hands included
As more data becomes available
Then we can start doing more with it
And as we do more with it
That that creates more data
Yes, I'm from the UK and that's just how it's said here.
D@-a
My approach: A single data point is "dah-ta" Some quantity of data is "day-ta"
For example: "I back up my game's save dah-ta in case my hard drive's day-ta gets corrupted"
