From <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/data" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dictionary.com</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>Usage note <br/>Data is a plural of datum, which is originally a Latin noun meaning “something given.” Today, data is used in English both as a plural noun meaning “facts or pieces of information” ( These data are described more fully elsewhere ) and as a singular mass noun meaning “information”: Not much data is available on flood control in Brazil. It is almost always treated as a plural in scientific and academic writing. In other types of writing it is either singular or plural. </p>
