Well, since you ask, erratum is the singular and errata the plural. Other words ending -um and
derived from Latin behave similarly (datum, data; stadium, stadia; consortium, consortia; etc.).
(There are also words in English derived from Greek which have singular ending -on and plural ending
-a -- notably criterion/criteria. Microsoft doesn't understand this, and gets it
tooth-jarringly wrong all over Excel and its help files.)
Cheers!
