Nick,

I hate to break your bubble but "indexes" has made it into general usage,
especially within the software development world.

See http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=indexes

or http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary

Also, "data", as a collective noun, can be used as both singular and plural.

See http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=data

Language is a living thing!
