Erratums

/ɪˈrɑːtəmz/ noun

Definition

English plural of erratum; multiple individual errors or mistakes found in printed works.

Etymology

Latin 'erratum' with English plural suffix '-s' added. English speakers sometimes pluralize Latin words using English rules rather than Latin rules.

Kelly Says

This is another example of English speakers being confused by Latin—'erratum' already has a plural form 'errata,' but English-speakers added '-s' anyway!
