The same as Lieutenant Commander Data in the OP's video.

No idea who data is
Never watched Star Trek

And I'm deaf so it all sounds the same
Sucks to be me

I hear Oh We Oh from Wizard of Oz. :twisted:

It's also similar to "mediocre", isn't it?

For future reference Data is the second character that speaks in the OP's video.

Data & I both pronounce it AH-muh-kraan: How it's most commonly enunciated by Americans, according to Merriam Webster.

Thanks, doofus.

I'm going to continue saying it ommi-kron because it sounds so communist.
