Depends on how much Star Trek we’ve been watching lately.
so, always Dayta.
Data is a proper noun, data is not.
Applicable to many areas of my life
Day-ta
Ditto
Dih-toe
Die-toe
That’s German and means “the toe”
Die Bart die
Die über toe!
You should probably see a podiatrist for that problem.
Dit toh
Dy-do
This is the way
Like this
I mean the man told us how he prefers it, I don’t understand why this is so hard for people
Edit: typo
One is my name. The other is not.
Pulaski?
I pronounce it “data” of course.
Of course! That’s the only way to say it, all others are wrong!
Agreed. Does it have two Ts? Then it’s not datta which you just instinctively rest as dah-ta
Both, randomly switching between them
Same, and when I catch myself doing that, I wonder why I do it, then move on with life and do it again later.
Yes.
Dah-ta in a day-tabase.
precisely.
Annoyingly I go back and forth because whichever pronunciation I’m on sounds worse than when I hear it the other way.
I recently caught myself using both pronunciations in the same sentence.
Both. I am german and I speak a weird amalgamation of british and american english.
Same minus the german part
Same
Yep, finding myself there, too. Mostly depends on what bit of music/show/media I have listened to/watched most recently :D
Dat-uh is information, Day-tuh is a Star Trek character.
One is his name. The other is not.
Both. I feel like one of them always tends to fit the conversation better than the other, but which one that is seems to be totally random.
Same with Caribbean. Royal Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean both sound wrong if you use the alternate pronunciation.
It depends on how many ay’s and ah’s are in my sentence. My mouth seems to natural conform to whatever has more as I speak at 9 million words per minute.
By itself or in short sentences, I default to day-ta, but otherwise I’m exactly the same.
Day-tah
And it’s uncountable.

Yes, because you’ve added a “container” word. Well done. You get a gold star.
I flip flop back and forth, I’m not totally sure if there’s a specific rhyme or reason to my choices, it may just come down to a subjective feeling about which I think sounds better in the sentence.
My wife is a dayta analyst, and she analyzes dahta.
Depends. Do you mean the Android Day-Ta? Or you mean the Information Unit Datah.
Came here to say, one is his name, the other is not.
Still calling it “The Chat Gippity” though
