I definitely say both depending on the sentence and how it feels coming off the tongue. I also alternate between the and thee. No idea why, but it happens organically.

Route as well. Depends largely on if I’m talking about routing Internet traffic or Route 66, though.

You say data, and I say data. Let's call the whole thing off.

I assume OP intended to force daytuh base, but I hear dada base fairly often. I don't know if it's more regional or more field related

People who say data are wrong, period. It's data and always will be.
I agree. I've always said this.
But is it pronounced "database" or "database"?
Database, obviously?
