Depends on the language I’m speaking, but I usually say da-ta, because data is a Portuguese word for date, and when I switch to English and keep the Portuguese pronunciation (and sometimes I even mix up both words but that’s another story)

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

Data, I think because of digimon

I pronounce it the correct way: dah-tah

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"
