Comment on Data is a plural

You mean fat are plural.
“is” is correct here, due to the implied nouns. “Data” in this case is an appositive and serves to describe the implied noun, “word.” And “plural” is an implied noun for “plural word”
You can see it most clearly if you fill in the implied nouns:
(the word) data is a plural (word)
I know I just thought it would be funny.
People who say datum vs people who say datum
I go with Datums to really stick the screws in
This is why I pronounce gif and gnome with a zh sound at the beginning. Like zhazha Gabor’s first name. Zhnome, zhif
