What is Aligned Dimension, Datum, Nominal Size, Tolerance, and Unilateral Tolerance?
Q. These all have to do with Engineering design. And "tolerance" is not like tolerance to pain or something.

A. aligned dimension is a dimension measured at an angle( i.e not vertical or horizontal). A Datum is a reference point that either you set or someone else has already set. Nominal size is the least/minimum size. Tolerance is that measure you are allowed to exceed a certain parameter with, it could be +/-.

data is the plural of datum but why does our grammar book use a singular verb after it? another question:?
Q. when can the word data be followed by a singular verb ? and what is meant by " do 18 hour days why not using the expression ( do 18 hour day?
Asked by inspiration - Tue Sep 5 15:14:51 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. data is used as a singular when you refer to it as the set of data as the data is insufficient.you don't say the data are insufficient 18 hour days means each day having 18 hours or if you work for 18 hours every day as opposed to 8 hours you may say ours are 18 hour days right now we are following 24 hour days
