Delusional skeptic, reveling in a multiple-personality disorder. Alternating between a 21st-century blogger, a 3rd-century BC Carthagenian general, a 5th-century BC druid, a 23rd-century BC Beaker-people trader, a 20th-century Estonian freedom-fighter, a time-traveler, and a sheepdog in Wyoming.
Really, folks. The singular is "datum"; the plural are "data". Using "they" as a singular pronoun is justified when you want to "blur" whether the object of the pronoun is singular or plural, as in avoiding spoilers.
