  1. Despite being a native English speaker, I actually have never heard of about half of those "grammar" "mistakes". But #8 ("data") and #9 ("they") I feel very strongly about, and completely agree with the article's take.

    To those that insist "data" is plural, I like to ask if they also consider "opera" (Latin plural of opus) plural? How about "agenda"? The bottom line is that the English word "data" is entirely distinct from the Latin word "data", in meaning, pronunciation, and usage, and only similar in that the English is derived from the Latin.
