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

  I was looking for a NES game on GoG.

  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?

  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.

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

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

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

  everyone toe-may-toe, toe-maw-toe, to indicate both are fine. As soon as I say taw-muh-toe however, there is an issue.
