Datum is the singular form of the word data in computer terminology. It also is defined as a set of values to define a specific geodetic system. The plural of this word, however, is datums.

Why doesn't the a10 fuselage station start at 0?

Fuselage stations are normally referenced from a reference datum which some distance forward of the first fuselage component. The reference datum normally relates to a precisely defined point on the manufacturers jig. Nominating a datum forward of the first airframe component allows for some flexibility in any redesign of the nose. Also the reference datum has to be off the airframe because the dimensions of the airframe itself will vary with temperature - unlike the jig on which it is made

How is mean sea level defined?

There is a point in Cornwall, in the UK, where there is a hatch in a building and underneath is a mark from which mean sea level for the entire world is calculated. It is in Newlyn, I think. Answer MSL is the average between high and low tides, and is a datum point used to desribe the height of tides, although the actual measurement is quite complex. The Newlyn mentioned above is the datum point for the UK, not the world. Other countries have their own datum point.
