Oh, I agree with how you wrote it. Data is a group of points, numbers, records, etc. It is a word denoting more than one thing.
I misunderstood the first post. I think the single point of data is a datum.
Oh yes, they “add value”, yeah that’s a good one.
lol
Ha ha! Love it! I'm so guilty of the "stakeholder" thing in my LinkedIn posts! 😜
No, I say an hour and an honor. I’m talking the case where you have a non-silent “h” yet people use “an”. Like when someone says “an historic occasion” instead of “a historic occasion”. To me that sounds affected.
“They think reality tv is trash.”
I only need one gauge to decide wether a person is worth my time and or worth his salt...
If he/she changes their attitude/body language/aura when the boss walks in the room or a popular person, then they aint worth af in my book. may as well just drop to their knees and perform oral on the person they shifted mode for. it’s thoroughly disgusting...
They talk in circles, they make little sense, they use many words when few will do.
How about ‘utilize’?
It is utilized too much.
Oh totally agree.
Harvard-educated educators will tell you that scores are not a measure of intelligence anymore. The higher your score, the more privilege you have. The lower your score, the more racist the system is against you.
At least that's what they say...

Actually 100 words for most sources, and 300 for excerpts, though about 10% should be a guide according to many, if not defined by courts, for "Fair Use."
Well, I should have been more clear that I meant with the non-silent “h”. Another example would be “an heroic deed” instead “a heroic deed”...
1. They display loads of books they’ve never read.
2. They talk about articles having only seen the headline.
3. They start sentences with, “People say…”
4. They can’t handle conversations they aren’t controlling.
5. They’ve memorized several “interesting facts.”
6. They say everything with immense confidence.
7. They’re likely to talk over others to avoid being corrected.
8. They have a superiority complex.
9. They pick friends they deem impressive.

They spend years getting a Ph.D. to feel superior, but nothing they say or write is actually interesting, despite having written a voluminous doctoral thesis, which was nonsense.
I see you also have tried to instruct other on how to post.

I wish FReepers could figure this out. I also wish the Mods would crack down on so many useless and duplicate threads.
So people who say “imporunt “ and “Dayun” (instead of Dayton) are…
Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.
