Facts, statistics, and the like. In medicine and the health sciences, people often speak of "the data" erroneously in the singular. "Data" is a plural noun and takes a plural verb, as in "the data are very convincing." It comes from the Latin "datum", meaning "a thing given."
F
or the Romans
data were surely plural
but we fear that,
for lack of Latinists,
data now is often
sadly singular.
