Hahaha. Lets all have a jolly fucking lols and say retarded stuff like datums. This is a serious thread and if you are too immature to discuss the pronunciation of 'data' I suggest you make your own fucking thread where you can post AAAAAAAAA and datums all you want whilst you drool all over your Cheeto dusted keyboard.

I fail to see,what that has to do with the pronunciation of 'data', and if you keep derailing my thread, I will be leaving this site. This is a thread for serious conversation only.

English allows for English pluralization to be applied to foreign words that are adopted into English. Since data -and it's singular, datum- come from Latin, I think "datums" qualifies as correct, if a bit odd, usage.
