We do?

Anyhow, I say "Say-ta" rather than how, presumably, Americans pronounce it: "sah-ta" (with the "Sa" from "Saturn")
I say say-ta, I'm American.

Oh right. I presumed it was comparable to the pronunciation of "data". Where English is "day-ta" and American is "dah-ta".

I've said say-ta and day-ta primarily since I knew the words. Dialect isn't precisely region specific. Speaking of which, smart people say soda.

I chameleon between all three, depending on what tech circle I'm in and what their preference is, to avoid an inevitable nerd snort of disgust if you say something differently than what he thinks it should be.

Personally, I prefer 'Ess Ay Tee Ay' or 'Serial Ay Tee Ay.' I hate pronouncing acronyms, so I generally avoid 'Sah-tah/Say-tah,' though they're a bit faster on the tongue. Besides which, I never liked using 'Pah-tah/Pay-tah' or 'Ah-tah/Ay-tah.' How would it sound if you pronounced IDE just the way it was spelled?
I say IDE...

A fucking O makes a fucking A sound because it's a fucking sound from a fucking word, not a fucking letter. Fucking say it. This is fucking english, it's fucking fuckass fuckwards.
