For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In tech doc for commercial software, data is normally treated as a
singular noun - it's mainly in academia that they stick to plural usage
(in the UK, at least). I've never used data as plural myself, and
wouldn't unless specifically asked to by *users*.
