This word reminds me of one joker in class. She used to pronounce "data" dah-tah, and the whole class would burst out laughing.Originally posted by the Bear:and another.. not sure how it is pronounced actually..
the word is Data
some say "day-ta"
some say "dah-tah"
i use the former as the word originates from the word Datum.. i don't hear anyone pronouncing it as "Dah-tum"
what do you guys think?

They are afterall to educate the masses aren't they?Originally posted by dracky:I wonder why our schools don't teach English phonetics, like the way they teach hanyu pinyin for Chinese.
