To Boldly Go, With Data
I have learned many things from Star Trek. Some of them are even useful. However, as I work on a clinical study report, I need constantly to remind myself that data are not singular.

Having reviewed that previous sentence and had to make not one grammatical revision, but two, I recognize the other lifelong grammatical mark of ST. A tendency to regard the infinitive, like the atom, as splittable.
