dear world

CRITERIA is a plural. Please stop saying "My biggest criteria is". The word you're looking for is "criterion" -- or, if that's snootier than you're comfortable with, you might be interested in "are".

Related to this, PHENOMENON is a singular. Please commence immediately using "phenomena" to refer to more than one.

Thank you.

signed,
these are my relaxed standards;
be glad I'm not making you say "those"
instead of "that" when you're talking
about data.

I didn't know that. I knew the second one and had forgotten the third. Thank you.
