People who say data are wrong, period. It's data and always will be.

    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.

    You say data, and I say data. Let's call the whole thing off.

    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

    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.
