How do you pronounce the word "data"? Like "date-uh" or like "Dat-uh"?
I've always said "Date-uh".
Are there any other words you say differently than people around you, or are ambiguous in the way they're pronounced?

I find myself using both. Sometimes Date-uh and sometimes Dat-uh.

I always learned it as date-uh but a lot of people I know use dat-ah. To me they both sound right, but I just prefer date-uh.

Yeah, rhymes with "cat" too. Not sure why, it seems to be a regional thing, but in much smaller regions. I don't know if I heard many people in high school say it that way, but in college more people seem to. I'd love to see a more formal study on this.

I did comp sci in Uni and I've never heard it like that. Aussies tend to say duh-uh and everyone else seems to be 'dae-ta'.
