  Just to be clear, it’s Commander Data, not Commander Data.

  Either way is fine but just don’t come at me with “the data are conclusive”

    You can tell someone is older or in academics/research when they say it like this.

    For most people “data” is a singular set. It’s clearer to say “these sets of data are conclusive”, while if it’s a single study, “this data is conclusive”

    Like why you don’t walk into a police station and say “there were murders everywhere” when you’re talking about crows.

    In some languages the word “data” is always plural. It feels natural to say it like that in english, too.

  I was looking for a NES game on GoG.

  There is a right way to say that sentence. And a wrong way.

      There are at least 2 more ways to say it, along with some even more cursed variants.

  Data in portuguese is normally spoken as Data, and means calendar date, while Data means the lay down command
