You know, data (day-ta) and data (daa-ta). What is the difference between them.



If there even is one



Is there?What is the difference between data and data?
They're different pronunciations of the same word. Either is technically correct, although if you want to be a nitpicker about it your 'daa-ta' is closer to the pronunciation of the original Latin word 'datum' (daa-toom).What is the difference between data and data?
People have different regional accents. Obviously the word is the same.
