[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think most of these examples qualify as pretentious. [b]I think it's pretentious when people are speaking English and suddenly pronounce a French or Spanish word like a native speaker[/b]. Or if they have a name like Suzanne and insist that you pronounce it "SuzAHN" [/quote] I think it's appropriate to do that for a proper noun...especially a first name, though. I agree that most of this thread is truly baffling, if people think that what they are describing sounds pretentious. There is a high probability, though, that people would call me pretentious ;) I'm also a data scientist, and I'm pretty insistent in my professional life that data are plural...and when I speak casually I use it as a plural noun. "Data set" is singular.[/quote]
