Hey New Jersey: Stop Mispronouncing This Common Word, Survey Says

According to an analysis of Google Trends searches by Unscramblerer.com, New Jersey’s most commonly mispronounced word is “data,” which should be said DAY-tuh (though Merriam-Webster notes multiple pronunciations are acceptable). Neighboring states have their own stumbles: New Yorkers trip over “Iran” and Pennsylvanians fumble “water,” while nationally, Worcestershire sauce, gyro, and dachshund top the list of words sending people to the search bar.
