Interesting. From some googling it looks like America is a mix of both but leaning towards day-ta, whereas the other countries are more consistently as I said.

I have a British friend who now lives in Canada and works in tech and has changed the way he says it (from day-ta to dah-ta, or really more like dah-da) for convenience. I had thought that it was an Atlantic divide but seems like there’s more to it.

That is incorrect

Brits pronounce it day-ta, Americans, Canadians and Australians pronounce it dah-ta. Data pronounces it Day-ta.

Yeah I’ve re-read the books three times and every time I forget how much the ending leaves you wanting more.

The Lies of Locke Lamora

Everyone keeps recommending Revolt but I tried it last week and it’s janky as hell and the voice chat just straight up didn’t work. This wasn’t just me, too. Our whole group tried it and gave up.

What else would they do, hands? That would be silly.

Now there’s some food you’d find in a restaurant.

Ah, Americans. I see the misunderstanding now.

Someone might pay for that sandwich if the primary function of the establishment is the consumption of alcohol (as it is in a pub) and not the serving of quality meals (as it is in a restaurant).

In a pub, especially if it’s the type of place where some real serious drinking occurs, the primary function of the a method of filling a stomach and absorbing alcohol and that sandwich would probably fill the brief.

I’m not saying it looks like a good sandwich, but it’s a practical one. A real sandwich for a real alcoholic. It’s definitely not the type of food you’d expect find in a restaurant. The type of place IS relevant, you chump.

It’s like that was my original point or something you twerp

Yes, you’re right. All these words are equal. It’s a pizzaria. A caffeteria maybe. Some might call it a bistro. Or a cafe. Perhaps a coffee shop or a burger joint. Quibbling over distinctions here would be semantics.

That’s a pub not a restaurant

Red Dwarf

No shit. I don’t think anybody wants to ban any of your examples. It’s the 99.9% as you said that’s being discussed here. Of course the ruling would have to be clear. That’s true of all such rulings. And of course businesses will try to skirt the law, because that’s always the case with businesses.

Guess I was misinformed. Thanks for doing the legwork.

Do your parents know you’re on the computer?

I have heard that the incidence of suicide is higher in deaf people then in blind people, which would suggest that, while our senses are sight dominated, losing our hearing has a bigger impact in some way. That said I can’t find a citation for that, so make of it what you will.
