Do you personally pronounce 'data' with a long 'A' or short 'A' sound?

I heard someone say "Datalounge" with a short 'A' and it sounded weird to me.

by Anonymousreply 61September 19, 2024 9:27 PM

That must have been me.

Date? What that?

It's THE Date-a Lounge.

by Anonymousreply 10September 18, 2024 9:27 PM

Honestly, I might say both.

by Anonymousreply 11September 18, 2024 9:27 PM

The second one. Maybe it's a Quebec thing

How would Wund girl pronounce “the Lounge Data”?

by Anonymousreply 13September 18, 2024 9:49 PM

Data, like the character on Star Trek: Next Generation.

by Anonymousreply 14September 18, 2024 9:54 PM

I normally pronounce it as, "You'll never guess what those crazy fuckers said today..."

But that's just me.

Where did you hear someone say Datalounge OP? Who was it and in what context was it referenced?

by Anonymousreply 16September 18, 2024 9:56 PM

I say data as Date-uh, but Datalounge as Dat-uh lounge (in my head; don't know that I've ever said it out loud?)

r16 My cousin was looking something up on Google about a public figure and one of the results was a DL thread about said figure. She read the title of the thread and its source (DL) aloud. Kinda threw me off a bit.

by Anonymousreply 18September 18, 2024 10:05 PM

I say data with a long 'a' and Datalounge like 'date-a-lounge' also in my head. I've never said it out loud until today. Which, now that I think about it, is interesting.

Ypir and Datalpunge (pronounced “Dah-tal-poonge”) were among the earliest supermodels in the 1970s and were from the Middle East and India respectively.

R6 - rescue-chick, I'm glad you clarified and added the "h" in "Dah" because some of us pronounce aaaaasshole differently.

by Anonymousreply 31September 18, 2024 10:51 PM

Dah-ta-loungers are informed on remarkable realty/property, hardly ever misspell, enjoy only the tastiest mayo and know just where they have to kick to find the cuntbone.

Day-ta-loungers may know the precise maneuvers of the BRF (as well as Janet Jackson), but otherwise they are unwashed heathen that rinse pasta instead of themselves, appreciate only tiny nipples, and have dry mussies.

I don't see how that's any of your business.

by Anonymousreply 38September 18, 2024 11:45 PM

I say Day-ta but those who are spelling it Daht, do you mean it rhymes with "pot" - or do you mean it rhymes with "cat" ?

Because I think "ah" is the vowel sound in pot.

by Anonymousreply 39September 18, 2024 11:47 PM

DAY-ta.

And it's a fucking plural, you illiterate wretches. (The style books are inept.)

r35 That emoji has never been used for conversations that are considered "safe-for-work." Please reconsider how liberally you employ it.

You heathens also probably say "zee" for "zed" while refusing to use the metric system.

r43 I am merely advising you to be mindful with whom you choose to employ it and when. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. 😐

Ok, I'll drop the tongue(emoji)-in-cheek, just say I don't know what you're referring to and hope we can move on peacefully.

r48 Please use this one 😋. It's more playful and so much more innocent, lol.

I say “DAHH-TAHH.” With both syllables uniformly stressed upwardly, just like my cans.
