@davidhadley1984 lmao... the Americans invented the Internet. The Web runs as part of the Internet, that is all Berners-Lee invented.

They learned this in Japan probably 20-30 years ago xD

@davidhadley1984

I don't.

@davidhadley1984 There's something we agree on. :-) I'm born and raised American and it irks me when people say "dat-uh" (like the first two letters of "dad" for that first "a" - a short "a"). It's a regional thing I think.

[davidhadley1984]

@ghotioutofh2o Data is pronounced like DayTa, in the america they say it like Dat a.

@davidhadley1984 I was being facetious about the Al Gore thing. It's a common joke around here. I don't know who really invented the internet, nor do I really care.

Would you elaborate on your two-word pronunciation? Are they long "A"s or short "A"s? Did you hear it as two separate words? You've got me really curious.

[davidhadley1984]

@ghotioutofh2o funny that his wikipedia page says nothing about the internet. WOW he must be a star but not want any credit. I did not see DA TA thats the way americans say the british invention

[ghotioutofh2o]

@davidhadley1984 Everyone knows Al Gore (born in DC (that's in the US)) invented the internet.

And I've never seen (nor heard) anyone separate data into two words like you brought up. Where did you see that?
