I wanna say that at some point in TNG, they acknowledged that Data with a long A was the android's name, but data with a short A was the actual word. It's just been so long since I watched them that I don't recall. But it's one of those things that's so prevalent, it'll become correct eventually if it hasn't already been accepted by the hoity toity powers that be.
It was Dr. Pulaski, calling Data "Dah-ta" with a short A. Because she didn't respect him enough as an actual sentient being to think his name mattered.
Psh. I'm not scared of Brits. They quit the war to make sure they didn't get trounced by the French. Again. It was the Canadians who burned down the White House, which is why I'm scared of Cody and Mish and them. And why I had Molsons on Canada Day...
