Surely Data was singular, until his brother Lore came along?

Lore was built before Data 😉

Dah-ta is the American pronunciation, day-ta is the British (and etymologically correct) one.

Again, thank Merriam Webster for the mistake that so much of the world now adopts.

We can include klomitter in there, vs. the correct kill-o meeter.

Dammit, wrong thread for this. I will try and stay away unless I see other incorrect information.

You might want to inform a mod about that 😉

Uh, no. The time span it's about is the 23rd century. You have to apply their pronounciation and speech nomination. 😉

day-ta is the British

I guess i must be British (i do live in the most British city in Canada)

Probably an error in the foundation data. 😉

Jeff,
Think about this.
klometer is the item that measures something.
Killometer is what the klometer measures.
Compare examples for confirmation

 

[Cal Weldon]

Uh, no.

Wait a minute grasshopper.

You have to apply their pronounciation

Spelling aside, I will suggest we stick with what we have brought forth.
On top of that, if you think I am unaware that the English language is Germanic in origin, then you don't know the real Cal.
Cheers ICG.

I think your 'kilo' got a need of magnitude of correction. 😉
