oh i missed the part where you were talking about how we use it

probably because you fagged out with the title and decided that the tween "u" instead of the adult "you" was appropriate

my bad

On topic,

I know someone who uses datums as the pl and another who says "data" for s. and "datas" for pl.

Another suitable query is how people pronouce "data"

in informal writing "The data is correct" in formal scientific papers "The data are correct", It depends on your audience. Both can be correct depending on which way you argue it.
