There was a time when "data" was purely the plural form of latin "datum". Not anymore. The first example given by the online Merriam-Webster dictionary is, whattayaknow, "the data is plentiful and easily available".
Some of us will always know that "data" is plural, "kudos" and "everyone" are singular, and the plural of "octopus" is "octopuses". But I will not deny you your right to bad grammar!
