This PR originates from an IRC discussion in #python on Libera.chat wherein a user was confused about the mix-and-match usage of key/value and key/datum in the official documentation.

Also worth considering as a potentially confusing ambiguity: there are several places in the docs that use the expression key value when referring to an object that is being used as a key.

Edit: Fun trivia: this language dates to the 1991 draft of the Language Reference, the term first appeared in f2612d1 by my reckoning.

Looks good, thanks. "datum" is unnecessarily obscure.

I'll leave this open for some time in case others have comments.
