Unhappy datum

I had a college professor who wrote "data are plural" on the board on one of the first days of class. I still cringe when I hear "the data is..." etc.

So I still use 'datum,' but boy do I get weird looks--and if there's any other way to say (correctly) what I'm trying to convey, I go that route!

Call me pedantic, but one of my bugbears is when people use criteria as a singular noun - instead of criterion.

Yes, around 10 million people use "datum" regularly!
Simply because it means "date" in Hungarian :)

... and in Dutch, which adds another 16 million!
