Are you sure they're Canadian airlines, and not US airlines taking polar routes through Canadian airspace.

True, I have no proof. It just appeared to be enough dots in unusual spots in our airspace. Certainly there's enough of a cluster on Toronto and Vancouver to indicate Canadian data, I think.

Odd. I actually read the data such that it looked like most of the dots over Canada looked to be coming down towards the east coast of the US from Asia and Europe. Maybe it is US airlines, and the dots around YYZ and YVR US flights landing in those cities? Now I'm curious...where did you get the image from?

Nope. You're right. There is data on Canadian flights in there.

Wait. Is "is data" or "are data" grammatically correct?

Technically, it's one datum and multiple data.

Thanks. I’m going to use that as my new grammar pet peeve. I’m sure my friends and coworkers will find it to be a refreshing change from hearing me nitpick about their use of “less” when they really mean “fewer”.
