Alysdexia, I have no problems with you correcting spelling and grammar in the aricle text. What you do, however, is go around all the comments leaving patronising and insulting comments about other posters' bad English. It is not required and it is not wanted. Keeping the wiki articles corrected with good English is required but please do so with some decorum and without insulting other posters.

You are too stubborn to realise that the English language is not set down in stone and is continually evolving. Correct usage is not always based on Latin derivation but on common usage. The word "data" has evolved in the English language to a point where it is commonly considered to be a collective singular. You may continue to use it as a plural in its academically correct usage, but you will be in the minority.
