Data or Data?

[callmedave]

How is it pronounced?

I say 'data' but my friend says it as 'data' and we can't agree which is correct.

[Fast and Spurious]

Data. Definitely.

[TooMany2cvs]

"Data".

To rhyme with "Potato".

Don't forget it's a plural. It's 'these data' not 'this data'.

I once spent a while explaining to a Melbourne office about the changes we were making to how their email was routed.

How was I meant to know they used the US pronunciation, and ours meant something very different? Their faces certainly told me something was very, very amusing...

And what about Nice biscuits? Are they pronounced Nice or Nice?

I think it's Nice.

I think it's Nice.

I thought it was pronounced as “you look nice today”. How else would it be pronounced?
