Question When did the word Data become plural?

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

The days of good grammar is went

^I wish I didn't, but I actually know people who talk like this unironically

I think that's PEOPLE becoming dumber, not you.

TBH as long as they aren't pronouncing it "datta" I'm relieved enough to care care whether they pluralize it or not.

I’m pretty retarded, but I’m just noticing how it’s being used by other people tbh

I know. Good grammar got goned.

I should study covid data too . . . . . . eventually. It's a lot.

See I like a boy – cute and nice and tall
But there’s one problem (Guess what?)
He couldn’t spell right at all
And I know that’s not the end all–be-all
But it really kinda blows
Poor guy doesn’t even like books (I know!)
And sometimes, it shows

My momma told me it’s unwise
To like a boy who is just nice
Who couldn’t put apostrophe s's
On his possessives
And don’t look at me when I look at you
Whenever you say “stuffs” (Stuffs!)
‘Cause that’s my cue (RETCH!)

I’m not a nazi
I just care about good grammar
Hey paparazzi (okay)
I just said that ‘cause it rhymed
But don’t you dare commit a grammar crime on me

You type “lose” with one o if you’re losing your mind
And two O’s for describing
Bowel movements of any kind
You see “your” and “you’re”
They're two, two different things, baby
It’s YOUR problem YOU’RE confused
But I’mma help you out with the words you use, yeah

My momma told me it’s unwise to like a boy who is just nice
Who couldn’t put apostrophes’s on his possessives
And don’t look at me when I look at you
Whenever you say “stuffs” (Stuffs!)
‘Cause that’s my cue (RETCH!)

I suggest you brush up on your subject-verb agreement
If we keep this up, it’s gonna be a commitment
You never say “Dogs barks” – you just say “bark”
Pay a bit of attention we’re gonna take it to the park
Double negatives and all its relatives
Don’t sound no good if it ain’t in a rap song
I’m gonna break it down to you
I hate it when you say “furnitures”
When you mean “pieces of furniture”

Let the plural be pluralized
The English language doesn’t deserve to be compromised
It’s TO to direct, TOO for “too much”, TWO is a number
Learn it, else I’ll be holding a grudge

THERE’S two baby cubs
And THEIR momma lion
And THEY’RE together it’s as clear as day
If you’re debating "if I was” versus “If I were”, I say
Who would you believe more?
Bieber or Beyonce

I’m not a nazi - I just care about good grammar
Hey paparazzi (okay), I just said that ‘cause it rhymed
But don’t you dare commit a grammar crime on me

I’m not a nazi - I just care about good grammar
Hey paparazzi (okay), I just said that ‘cause it rhymed

That was Scary.
