It’s a noncount noun.
Even people who pretend to believe it’s a count noun never use the singular, “a datum”.
Screw both options. Instead I say data.
Oh fuck off with that pretentious ass pronunciation. I mean my God, just say “data” like a normal person! So tired of people trying to get all fancy with their pronunciations. Data is the only correct pronunciation. And while we’re at it, it’s “gif” not “gif” and “gnome” not “gnome”
“One is my name. The other is not.”
Datums
Datümer
I say it like dahtay and you can’t stop me
This seems like a job for my trusty brick
I say data because it makes more sense than saying data.
I worked with some Americans who said “these data” all the time. Even though it was technically correct it sounded so grating I wanted to kill them. Everyone other employee from literally every other country would say “this data” barring those smug fucks from Seattle.
I have a French accent so I say data.
Hon hon hon verhy gud verhy gud
Sometimes I go both ways ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So it’s Lt. Commander….

It rhymes with Taylor Swift’s nickname
I say data (dah-ta) when it is information that cannot normally be read by a human, and data (day-ta) when it is information that has been compiled about a topic that is in human readable format.
“The data on the hard drive has been corrupted.” - dah-ta
“The data shows that you have a life expectancy of 78 years” -day-ta
Data’s

I say data when I want to sound sophisticated.
I just realized I do this too. I need to hit myself with a folding chair.
