this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

See, I know that datum is technically the singular for data, but in that sentence, if you used a pronoun, you would use "it" (you would not refer to data as "they"), as in "It is augmented," and the sentence would be correct.

"Has the data been augmented?"

"Yes, it has" is correct; "Yes, they have" is not?

No, the pronoun would be "they."

Punishingly Intricate

Kay Redfield Jamison is a good name to start with -- she's a Psychiatry prof at JHU

Also, she is married to my friend's father.

Man, I feel like I had a million things to say but my brain is worn out. Stupid meetings today.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

We need to go back to the days when scientific papers were all written in Latin. Scientific progress would grind to a halt, but all grammar questions about those papers would have clear simple unambiguous answers.

Signed, why no I don't know Latin, however could you tell?
