I use both dat-ta and day-ta regularly, same with words like zealot and melee (even though I know the correct pronunciation). never ever heard someone say bee-ta, that just sounds retarded. what's next Omeegay?
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I say bay-ta when it refers to stuff like SC2 beta, but in class everyone says bee-tah like bee-tah blockers or bee-tah 1 receptors so I follow that.

I say day-tah for data.

Pretty much every dictionary I can find says that it's bay-tah. There might be a different pronunciation in Oceania like how Americans and Brits pronounce things differently, but as far as I'm concerned it's bay-tah.

Do Americans pronounce anal "Eh-null" or "Ay-nal?"

Whats the correct way of saying it in English (not American)?

Yeah and if had been studying languages I might have been able to read that page :p
I _think_ it confirmed what I thought already (long "e" sound) but I can't really read phonetics.

I tried to look up what it meant and it looked like it bee (long e) and bay are both acceptable

EDIT: I say bee myself, most Australians would too I believe.
Their are four errors in this sentance.
