Using "data" as a plural word is getting more and more popular. Obviously, it's the plural version of the neuter past participle of the Latin verb dare. (Dare -> datum -> data). Actually - it could also be the fem. singular... lol.

That aside - I think "data are" sounds weird and does not work well with the concept. When I think of "data," it's an amorphous blob of information. *Not* datum 1, datum 2, etc.

Here are some examples that show how strange treating data as a plural is:
The data don't support this... Shucks, it don't?
There aren't enough data to support this... Wait! Here comes another one.
Did you see these data? Yes, I saw them.

Why can't we just treat the word as a singular < data sing. fem.? After all, that would match better information (which is fem!).

The people who treat data as plural don't know anything about Latin anyway - so why do we have to use this pretentious, awkward form?

I have Biology Edexcel board exam in a few days, but I've decided that I'm happy with my original mark ( 74/100) in the paper I'm resisting. I don't want to study for it, and I'll spend my time preparing for the C2 and S1 resist. Will they consider I got 0/100 and lower my original total 241/300 from A to 167 which I think is a C? BTW what subjects do you have in January? And anyone looking forward to IGCSE November results on the 19th? What subjects did you do in that session? BTW I'm not cheating, these are all related questions.

when you say"i can ,,,,," for example"i can hit a running rabbit",you use the singular after the verb.(or maybe plural??)

so if this is right, when you say "i can(able to) read a book" , does this make sense??
