This quick one is not very consequential; rather a wee bit informative and perhaps entertaining.

The word 'Data' is the plural of 'Datum' (of Latin origin). So the technically right usage is 'Data are...' and not 'Data is...'; at least historically and scientifically speaking.

However, over time, the usage has changed and it is now used as a singular noun, like any other mass noun.

Nomenclature of the post: Data and Analytics - high level, Data - core topic within that, Reality - the idea/sentiment of the post, 1 - the sequence of the post in this series.
