`
`A GENUINE NIERRIAM-WEBSTER
`The name Webster alone is no guarantee of excellence. It is used by a
`number of publishers and may serve mainly to mislead an unwary
`buyer.
`
`Merrimn~WebsterTM is the name you should look for when you
`consider the purchase of dictionaries or other fine reference books.
`It carries the reputation of a company that has been publishing since
`1831 and is your assurance of quality and authority.

`usage Data leads a life of its own quite independent of datum, of
`which it was originally the plural. It occurs in two constructions: as a
`plural noun (likc rzrzrningr), taking a plural verb and plural modifiers
`(as rlzese, many, a few) but not cardinal numbers, and serving as a ref-
`erent for plural pronouns; and as an abstract mass noun (like informa-
`tion), taking a singular verb and singular modifiers (as tlzilr, mucli, lit-
`tle), and being referred to by a singular pronoun. Both constructions
`are standard. The plural construction is more common in print, per-.
`haps because the house style of some publishers mandates it.
