Hi wcoronel
.
"These/Those information..." is wrong. The word
information is always grammatically
singular.
You can only use
these and
those with plural nouns.
.
The word
data can be used as both a singular and a plural noun. I'd say data is probably treated more often as a mass (singular) noun than as a plural noun.
