Do you consider the word "data" to be plural or singular?

I think it's time for people to accept that there's no point in making data plural when we never use the singular.  Technically stamina is plural too (like opera and agenda which you mention) but no one says "the stamina are" or "the opera are".  We're not ancient romans.  \n\n"there has been a growing tendency to use it as an equivalent to the uncountable noun information, followed by a singular verb. This is now regarded as generally acceptable in American use, and in the context of information technology."\nhttp://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutgrammar/data?view=uk\n\n\n\nOnly pretentious pedants still use it as plural\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pedant

Yes, emails is correct plural form of email.  Most nouns can be made plural by adding either 's' or 'es'....  there are other rules such as if your original word ends in 'y', drop the 'y' and add 'ies'..... and of course for every "RULE" in English,..... we have one or more exceptions.\n\nNote:  some nouns change form when pluralized:\neg: person / people  ( :-)) - although, just to further confuse things,..... 'persons' is also a technically correct term in certain instances)

Yes that is correct. The double " is used  to enclose a quote. A single ' is used to enclose a quote within the quote.

Look at your subject. The subj. in this sentence is "babies" which is plural. Therefore, the subject must agree in number with the verb. Your verb must then be the plural form "have."

"There is a few...?" is incorrect because when you are saying "few" you are talking about more than one and "are" is the correct linking verb for more than one. "is" means /one/ thing.

"Are" is plural for the first and third person ("we are," "they are") and is also singular in the second person ("you are"). "Is" is always singular, and is used for the third person only ("it is").

No, you can't because the notion is that with scissors or pants or shorts or briefs etc. you deal with pairs. So, in order to singularize you'd have to say\n'a pair of scissors', ' a pair of pants' etc.
