I'm looking for a little psychological insight, here.  Why do I so often
screw up the subject verb agreement with the word "data"?  I know data
is plural... but "datum" is so rare ... and a bit pretentious ... and,
unless you get down to an atomic "bit", any "datum" is probably "data"
if you crack it open and look inside anyway.  But these are excuses.
Are my excuses preventing me from using English properly?
