• This word is more often used as an uncountable noun with a singular verb than as a plural noun with singular datum. Usage as a plural noun with a plural verb is far more common in formal contexts.
• In geodetic contexts, the word is used exclusively as an uncountable with the singular datum having the plural datums to replace it.
• The definition of data in the computing context is from an international standard vocabulary and is meant to distinguish data from information. However, this distinction is largely ignored by the computing profession.
