Dah - tah and bey-tuh
then again i thought it was just my boston accent - i dun pronounce word right.
maybe a better question would have been how to pronounce c a r. lols <3 people seem to love me saying that.. "cah"
or people will ask me to say "Park the car in Harvard yard" n when i say it it sounds like
"pah-k tha cah in ha-vid yah-d" lols who needs r's right? wiicked lame.

I say it the first way. :-) I think I have a typical New England accent.. I pronounce my consonants and everything.

^ if you didn't pronounce your consonants, it's just be "i ae i Ai." < that's "Hi, my name is Ali", btw.

^ this, exactly. I think that daytuh is more correct than dahtuh, but I'm in the habit of saying dahtuh so that's what always comes out. Sometimes I say "dahtuh, err, daytuh," and then there's an awkward silence :C

For me it's more like 'Day-tah' and 'bee-tah.' Same here. It must an English thing. ;D

Lol not to be a Latinist snob but the "true" way (not gonna use the word Correct, as it differs from person to person) of pronouncing Data is Dah-tah, not Day-Tuh. It's the plural form of the word Datum, which is the perfect passive participle of Do/Dare/Dedi/Datum, meaning "to give". So, "something having been given". Voila! But the "Dah" would have been not the ae sound that we hear in words like Cap, Stagger, etc. But more like the a in the word Father. same with the "tah".
And I didn't study Greek, but I'm pretty sure Beta is pronounced something along the lines of Beetuh? I don't know, my Latin teacher in high school was actually an Ancient Greek major at Harvard (LOL yeah he was sort of a boss) so I learned a little ancient greek pronunciation here and there, but Latin was my main forte.
/end snobbery

Not snobby, smart That's really interesting and I thought it was supposed to be "dahtah," but sometimes I still say "daytah" I learned the greek alphabet in 4th grade and we were taught "behtah," so it stuck with me.
