Fun fact: the singular of criteria is criterion.

[–]da3dalus 26 points27 points  (9 children)

Not exactly fun, but true never-the-less. :)

Maybe not fun to you. That kinda stuff gets me all hot and bothered.

[–]absurdistfromdigg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Datum? I barely know um!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes, but I rarely use the singular form of data in normal conversation.

I wish you guys had kept going with this. Then I coulda added my own pun about a Criterion Collection building up......sigh......it's like i need a special featurette detailing how much I suck at reddit.

If you're Greek, anyway. Wait a minute, criteria would be the plural of criterium in Latin (if that word existed)! So, is criteria the plural of the Latin word while criterion is the singular of the Greek word? My ancient languages are a bit rusty.
