'War Stories'


Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay for good things, Suzi! Including the lemonade.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Definitely glad for all the good news there, Suzi!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Halp please.

"...based on a multitude of data that IS not..." or "...based on a multitude of data that ARE not..."???

I'm making better progress on my paper today. Which must needs since it is due at midnight. I plan to work 50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break each hour. Half an hour for dinner. I need to write at least a page an hour - which is going to be challenging as I need to pull research support as I go. I have a list of potential resources, so it won't be as start from scratch as it could have been.

I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES.

I would say multitude is.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In medical writing, "data" is a plural noun, so it takes "are". I don't know what the accepted standard is in nonmedical writing. Even on NPR I hear them say "data is."

Our wings are not tired.

For a contrary opinion

"multitude of data that is"

14,400,000 Google results

"multitude of data that are"

Hmmmm. Well, so far the professor hasn't dinged me on grammar issues and there are arguments for both sides, so I think I'll run with is.

Thank you. Four pages of twelve done.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You're modifying multitude (is), not data (are).
