Re: countable or uncountable
Data is not always uncoutable; some use it as a plural, with datum as the singular. You will hear scientists and statisticians say 'these data are', though most people use it uncountably. I would say 'Data has been received from both PC A and PC B'. You could use both "data of two different types" and "two different types of data". However, are they different types of data or different sources?
Re: countable or uncountable
Thank you for your reply.
Okay, so data could be both singular and plural, thanks.
I meant the data of the same source, like, one is encrypted, and the other is decrypted, or something like that.
I guess in that case you could say "data of two different types", no?
Thank you again.
Re: countable or uncountable
In computing, I normally see it used as an uncountable noun. And the answer to your question is yes. ;-)
