Sorry to be that guy but Data are plural. So Data are never raw.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Sorry to be that guy but Data is always plural. So Data are never raw. Data is most commonly used as a singular mass noun, and the headline makes more sense with it as a mass noun than as the plural of datum.
- laurieg 8y agoIn modern usage, 'data' is a mass noun and is used with 'is' very frequently. To flat out say this usage is wrong with no is very prescriptive.
