    Just to be clear, it's Commander Data, not Commander Data.

    Either way is fine but just don't come at me with "the data are conclusive"

    You can tell someone is older or in academics/research when they say it like this.

    For most people “data” is a singular set. It’s clearer to say “these sets of data are conclusive”, while if it’s a single study, “this data is conclusive”

    Like why you don’t walk into a police station and say “there were murders everywhere” when you’re talking about crows.

    There is a right way to say that sentence. And a wrong way.

    There are at least 2 more ways to say it, along with some even more cursed variants.

    Say gog like the G in gif?

    Then there's me who says it both ways depending on the sentence.

    Data in portuguese is normally spoken as Data, and means calendar date, while Data means the lay down command

    Might I suggest a compromise wherein everyone is equally wrong:

    You say data, I say data

    You say gif, I say gif

    Data, data, gif, gif

    Let's call the whole thing off

    I assume the king took this photo? Or maybe the king’s jester if the king approved of it before the photo was released

    Data is just a non-starter. Data makes you later!
