I have shamed a TV presenter.
In he English? I hear English people say it like that so often, I assumed that was their pronunciation. - Anika
He's Northern Irish. I've heard it pronounced darter - which I hate but accept as an alternative pronunciation - but never datter. It's always been dayta to me. - Mark H
I pronounce it 'numbersandshit' - Pete's Got To Go
You're a northerner. It's not your fault. - Mark H
lol - YvonneM
I'm from the Midlands you fucking sailorgobbler, get it right. - Pete's Got To Go
Seriously, I've always said it as 'day-ter' - Pete's Got To Go
The midlands... being north of the beautiful south? Making you a northerner? QED. - Mark H
The south...being north of the south pole...making you a northerner. Also, there is no beautiful south, so your logic is based on an illusion. - Pete's Got To Go
When I hear it from them here, it's more like 'DAH-tah". I've heard the other iterations, to, but 'datter' seems more common. I wonder if it's just English people working in America. Or maybe we hear differently. - Anika
I just realized 'day-ter' is how Patrick Stewart pronounces the android's name :D - Victor Ganata
As a true northerner, I can fully vouch for the fact that Pete definitely isn't one. Though i'm never quite sure why he's so proud to come from the Midlands ;-) And yes, it's day-ter. I mean, why would anyone argue with Picard? :-) - Heleninstitches #teamff
♫♩ Miiister Crawley, what went on in your head? ♪♬ - Eivind
I never noticed it until Pete spelled it out :) - Victor Ganata
there's also those who pronounce "idea" to rhyme with "dear" with a strong "r" at the end. - Alfonker Tapir
I've been hearing "idea" as "I, dear" from a Melbourne native - Alfonker Tapir
And then there's "draaaww-ring" :-) - Nils Sandin
