two questions

[colours]

1. is it dah-ta or day-ta
2. is it pro-cess or praw-cess

curious to hear where most of pc leans

 

[Sammi]

day-ta, praw-cess

I couldn't tell you what my accent is. General midwestyness?

 

[Sheep]

1. is it dah-ta or day-ta
2. is it pro-cess or praw-cess

i'm american, hardly see other americans say it the other ways (at least here)

 

[Sawsbuck]

Dayta
Prawcess

 

[8-bit Zeta]

Day-ta. Anything else is heresy.

I generally bounce between pro-cessor and praw(h)-cessor. Depends on how bad I've picked up a British/Canadian accent that day.

I do believe it is a long A for the first and a short O for the second. If that helps any.

 

[Aslan]

Not American so dah-ta and pro-cess, I have heard it said the other way but only when I was in the states. :D

 

[moon]

dayta and process I guess?

 

[pkmin3033]

Dahta and Process. I guess because I'm British?

Unless we're talking about Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek. Then it's Day-ta. But that's like how you say Dragonball Zee and not Dragonball Zed. Names don't count.

 

[gimmepie]

Dahta and Pro-cess.
The idea of pronouncing process with an "aw" makes me wince a little.

 

[Corrin]

dah-ta
pro-cess or praw-cess, whichever leaves my mouth really

 

[Nah]

day-ta and praw-cess usually

 

[professor plum]

so what we really saying is I need to revive the accent challenge for 2020

Day-ta
Prah-cess

 

[Palamon]

Day-ta. Prah-cess. My dad says Dah-ta, though.

i just heard someone say "stay-tus" instead of "stah-tus" (for status) and i--

 

[Ninetales]

Dah-ta
Praw-cess

I used to have a teacher who would say gen-u-WINE instead of gen-u-IN. It drove me batty.

 

[an illegible mess.]

day-ta
praw-cess

 

[Venonat in Space]

I usually say day-ta and praw-cess but what do I know i'm American.

 

[BettyJimbles]

I'm Scottish.

Day-Ta
Process.

I live in South East England and have never heard anybody say dah-ta, so I don't know where you other British PCers are from but your accents are a bamboozle.

 

[Tsutarja]

either or
praw-cess

 

[Cherrim]

I use both pronunciations with process. The verb is always praw-cess, but for the noun I don't know that I have a rule, just whatever sounds best to me in the flow of the sentence.

I usually say dah-ta but I'm pretty sure I've also used day-ta on occasion, too.

Apparently I just can't stick to pronunciations?
