Wow.
Also in the news today a Florida sheriff is forbidding masks in his facility. Visitors and staff. I guess it isn’t really about liberty after all.

Once they use data as plural, I'm done.

Once they used data as plural, I paid attention.
We've talked about this before, but, I sort of appreciate the attention to the precision of Latin.
But...that's just one datum.

We didn't just study Latin.
We spoke it.
It is not only singular, it is Dayt-uh not daaata

John Derbyshire once had a corner post about his unhappiness with these colonial editors at NR changing his ‘data is’ to ‘data are’. His argument, which I found compelling, is the word was now English and not Latin. In English it’s a mass noun like rice or sand. In Latin it’s plural but if you’re using it as a Latin word than you would italicize it. But nobody italicizes it because it’s an English word.

People say ‘my agenda is full’.
Can you imagine how pretentious would sound to say “I can’t do 9 o’clock, I have an agendum”.
Or, “I can’t do next week, my agenda are too many”.

One should always try to XL, however difficult the subject.

"Stop killing babies!"
"My choice, my body!"
"Wear a mask! Wear a mask!"
"My choice, my body!"
"But you could kill an innocent person!"............

Chris Christie, after seven days in the ICU:
"Every public official, regardless of party or position, should advocate for every American to wear a mask in public, appropriately socially distance and to wash your hands frequently every day. ...”
