I definitely say both depending on the sentence and how it feels coming off the tongue. I also alternate between the and thee. No idea why, but it happens organically.
I had a comp sci teacher pronounce "data" and "database" differently. Drove me up a wall. I don't even care which way you say it, just make it the same ffs

People who say data are wrong, period. It's data and always will be.
SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 1y
I agree. I've always said this.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y
But is it pronounced "database" or "database"?
misterdoctor@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y
Database, obviously?
slippyferret@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 49 pts · 1y
Great. Now I’m unsure of how to pronounce database as well.
RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y
Easy fix, just say datum five times fast

Route as well. Depends largely on if I’m talking about routing Internet traffic or Route 66, though.

It’s like when people pronounce mana like mana, it’s very annoying.

Pronounce like what? Mana-goose? Or Mana-in-the-middle?

Listen, data is singular, and data is plural.
Data goes into a database. It's comprised of individual components of data.
You know it's true because you read this effortlessly.

Isn't data the plural of datum?

I assume OP intended to force daytuh base, but I hear dada base fairly often. I don't know if it's more regional or more field related
spankmonkey@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
I say it either way depending on how I feel at that moment, because people around me use different pronunciations so they all sound fine.

There's no y in data or database. The only source of confusion is that Star Trek character weirdly dipthong-ing his name.
