While we're at it let me get something off my chest

Mitochondria is plural. One powerhouse of the cell is a mitochondrion. Bacteria is also the plural of bacterium.

Does this matter? Not really.

It matters a little to me and I didn't know that 'mitochondria' is plural. So thanks.

Data used to be generally used as the plural of datum before it became generally used as a mass noun.
