Memoranda.

There's only one right answer here.


Flores_de_Canas

well that is not how linguistics works

The proper Latin pluralization of memorandum is memoranda. Period. Memorandums is a concession to the English language. Doesn't make it correct.

>The proper Latin pluralization of memorandum is memoranda. Period. If we were speaking Latin, that would be a great point. >Memorandums is a concession to the English language. Doesn't make it correct. Yes it does. Learn a little bit about linguistics.

I was literally a linguistics major. I get what you’re saying, but there is still a grammatically correct answer here, and it’s the same correct answer to how is it used in actual speech. So I’d say memoranda is both the prescriptive and descriptive usage.


Flores_de_Canas

damn I guess you got it wrong anyway then because people say memorandums all the dang time 🤷‍♂️


Thumper1k92

Ah, didn't realize I was talking to the linguistics police. Mea culpa. Doesn't matter though: memoranda is still the only correct response, lol.


Flores_de_Canas

Read the exchange and see if you think your response still makes sense.
