NOOO RANDALL USED ‘DATA’ AS SINGULAR NOOOO I HOPE HE FIXES IT. Broseph (talk) 15:17, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Used with an information science perspective as it is here, it is usually used as a singular (https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/data-is-or-data-are/). At least, that's what I found while clicking around with one of my computer mouses :P SammyChips (talk) 15:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

From your source: "In academic and scientific writing, the word data is almost always treated as a plural word, as in The data collected by the research team suggest that the water supply has been contaminated." 172.71.144.179 18:49, 30 April 2025 (UTC) 

English is not Latin. Latin words work differently in English than they do in Latin. In English, "data" is a mass noun (a.k.a., an uncountable noun). For almost as long as the English language has existed, folks have been trying to "correct" people into using Latin rules of grammar, but that's not correct and never has been.

I think it contains nougat. Perhaps with further study of Jupiter, humanity will finally be able to learn what, exactly, nougat is. Equites (talk) 16:35, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

This image has always given me the impression it's actually a delicious frozen cake. Zmatt (talk) 18:08, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
