More: "data" as a singular noun, as in "this data". Same goes for "phenomenon/a". And why is it so many people labor under the misapprehension that the past tense of "forecast" is "forecasted"? AND--one day I'm gonna write 'em about this--why do the people at Briefing.com think that "willful" means "willing"? (As in "tech stocks are a willful participant in today's rally".) And should we really spell it that way, as all Americans now seem to do, or is "wilful" more correct?
