In US. UK speaks more correct English than we do. I find it odd then that you say "mum" instead of "mom". I'm 47 and I have never met an American in my entire life who says "mum" instead of "mom".

That's cos we Americans don't speak correct English. Mummy instead of Mommy. Sorry but a "mummy" is what you find wrapped in bandages stored inside some dark tomb in Egypt.

Actually, dat-ah is singular and date-ah is plural. Um, no. Datum is the singular and data is the plural. As for pronunciation of the plural, data, I believe dictionaries say that either is/both are acceptable. Rather like toe-MAY-toe / toe-MAH-toe. In Latin, yes, but in engineering in terms of information, dat-ah is singular and date-ah is plural. Kind of like how really it should be viri when we talk about more than one virus, which is correct in Latin, but in English we still say viruses. v6, boNes I'll leave this link here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2voh0q

This isn't really a problem with pronunciation exactly but what's the deal with so many people now writing " could of", "would of", "should of" instead of "could HAVE", "would HAVE" and "should HAVE"? My guess it's because many people pronounce "have" as "of" since they leave out the "ha" part? Pretty much, PM. They hear "could've" without knowing it's a contraction for "could have", and repeat it as "could of" even though that makes no sense whatsoever.
SALUTE TO ALL!
