Subj:   Re: Questions about the advisability of manual modification of interval statistics
 
From:   Geoffrey Rommel

  Google gives only the rate of 8:3 for "a criterion" to "a criteria". The usage of such words in English has changed over the time. For example, who is using "a visum" (apart from Dutch tourists)? It has become "a visa" long time ago. "Criterion" will be gone pretty soon from English.  


Well, that may happen; no one uses the word agendum any more, and I admit that I have given up on 'data' (strictly, the plural of 'datum'). But I'm going to hold the line on this one as long as possible. 'Criterion' is still a living word in English; in fact, there is a literary journal named The New Criterion.
