MJS Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Both forms of "data" pronunciation are correct in American English. People also forget that "data" is the plural form of "datum". So it's correct to say "one datum" and "two data". People like to say "data point" instead of "datum". People also incorrectly use "data" in the singular, such as saying "here IS the data" when it should be "here ARE the data". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American English accent is older than the British. The British accent became popular after the settlement of America. When it became prominent in the UK, some of the larger US cities followed the non-rhotic fad, which is why you have non-rhotic variants in New York, New Jersey, Boston, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed that is a bad habit for me is using "here's" when I should be using "here are". It's really annoying I keep doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
