Maybe. Maybe they just haven’t done enough crunch yet so they need some extra bonus crunch.

The red scare? The war on terror? It’s a new type of crazy in government, I can’t deny that. But spreading fear of Them isn’t new.

How did we get here? We’ve always been here. There have always been people warning about “they”. Some portion of them have always been otherwise intelligent.Some portion of them have even been correct. This isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s easier for conspiracy theories to spread now, with the internet, and that’s led to them being less fun and more dangerous, but it’s mostly just the same shit.

Interesting. From some googling it looks like America is a mix of both but leaning towards day-ta, whereas the other countries are more consistently as I said.

I have a British friend who now lives in Canada and works in tech and has changed the way he says it (from day-ta to dah-ta, or really more like dah-da) for convenience. I had thought that it was an Atlantic divide but seems like there’s more to it.

That is incorrect

Brits pronounce it day-ta, Americans, Canadians and Australians pronounce it dah-ta. Data pronounces it Day-ta.
