It's quite common in our environment to be using these words and overwhelmingly the English grammar rules place them in the same category of uncountable nouns as advice, information and furniture (rather than the now very dated plurals of the words datum and agendum).

pluralize only chooses the latter usage:

console.log(pluralize.isPlural('data'));
// => true

console.log(pluralize.isPlural('agenda'));
// => true

Should we consider changing the rules for these words?

Add data to singular words with no plurals
1b66888 
`pluralize.singular('data')` returns `datum` because of the rule here: https://github.com/plurals/pluralize/blob/master/pluralize.js#L385

This PR Just adds data to the list of singular words with no plurals because I don't believe data has a plural form

Closes plurals#145
