Reply to comment by JPAnalyst in Data IS versus Data ARE. Glad to see more search results for the grammatically-correct phrasing. [OC] by prettyhugediscer

I’m also constantly torn between whether I collect “Walkmans” or “Walkmen” or “Walksman.”

And I change my pronunciation of “data” all willy nilly.
