Pergunta sobre Inglês (EUA)
I've noticed that in AmE people pronounce the word 'data' both as 'deita' and 'daata.'
Does the meaning change depending on how it's pronounced? How am I supposed to know when and what pronunciation of the word to use?

@Beyonder6666 No, they are both used interchangeably. I myself have used both. I can use them both in the same sentence. The only application of different pronunciations I can think of would be if you are trying to rhyme with something. Also, if you hear everyone else pronounce it one way during a project, you should probably follow along and pronounce it that way unless you want to start a debate.

@Beyonder6666 oh sorry, I mean 'nope' as in no, they are not pronounced differently. Yes, they are pronounced both ways.

@carbonated-milk Okay, then tell me, are there situations where a certain pronunciation is more preferable?
