Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation)

  1. it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and

  2. the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too.
