It can go either way when you're referring to a collective. Square makes crap games. Square make crap games.

Again, either way is correct. I always add the S, though.

I thought data was the plural of datum.
It's both the plural form of datum and a mass noun like "information." Also, for the record, I hate every single one of you bastards who say "forums" instead of fora.
and people using he/she annoys me. Even if 'they' isn't terribly correct, it still flows better^_^
"They" is incorrect, and "he/she" is unnecessary. When speaking in general terms, masculine pronouns cover both genders.
