You made up x,y.

The subject was comments on this and other pages where the pollution was.

singular verbs? You know nothing about correct usage; you couldn't even see where semicolons go. "Data" has nothing to do with English. English has been dead for 1000 years: http://google.com/groups?q=%22Benj+asks+about+history%22. We talk in "Einglish" now, which is shit. A collective noun such as group, byte, sheep, info—whereas cheese, food, wood are mass nouns—has no plural mark and is common to both singular and plural verbs, but it can take further inflection and a plural verb. Some are in the plural yet take singular or plural verbs dependent on depth of meaning: grounds, brains, physics, maths. Data is already inflected for the plural, Lents in English—those dictionaries would say Givens, but their writers are modernly shallow and dumb; give is cognate with habe, given with habitus. Here, the data are directions in context of comma- or semicolon-separate entries where we can see each in scrutiny; you know there are many data and you had to put each in by hand. So "data is" makes no sense and you only wish to be stubbornly ignorant.
