Yesterday I was at school from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Tomorrow I'll be there from 7 AM to 7 PM. I don't really have any comments about these data, I just thought you should know. Something else you should know? The word "data" is indeed plural (see usage above). Datum is singular. Correct usage = "The data show that..." Incorrect usage = "The data shows that..." That is all.
