Nothing, NOTHING, pisses me off more than when people use plural speech regarding the word "data". They're just being smug, "The singular form of data is datum!"
>The data are implying that...
>These data were collected from...
>etc...
You sound like fucking retards! The word "data" is like the word "water", and you should adjust your speech regarding data the same way you do for water.
>The water *is* wet
>The data *is* conclusive...
>etc...
