How do you say "data"?
I only ask because it's a contentious issue. Along with split infinitives, getting this one wrong offends and delights in equal measure. And, as we write about data every day, we're either getting it very wrong or very right. The Wall Street Journal has just published this blog post, in which it finally decides to move away from data "are", saying:
When we asked the question a couple of years ago, loads of you debated it in a much-polarised manner on Twitter.
@mkdDCC No to datum. We need to relax about the data is/are thing. It may not be good Latin, but we're not speaking Latin.

Ivan Begtin's insight:
G8 leaders signed the Open Data Charter on 18 June 2013. The Open Data Charter sets out 5 strategic principles that all G8 members will act on. These include an expectation that all government data will be published openly by default, alongside principles to increase the quality, quantity and re-use of the data that is released. G8 members have also identified 14 high-value areas – from education to transport, and from health to crime and justice – from which they will release data. These will help unlock the economic potential of open data, support innovation and provide greater accountability.
