Do you pronounce the word “data” like the Star Trek character? (Day-ta) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Is that meant to be /æ/ as in “dad” or /ɑː/ as in “spa”? I find people do not agree on which sound the spelling indicates.

There are three variants I’m aware of: /eɪ/ as in “day”, /æ/ as in “dad”, and /ɑː/ as in “spa”. I personally say it with /æ/.
