Talk:2011 Irish constitutional referendums

Referenda

I don't want to edit in case I make a mistake but the plural of 'referendum' is 'referenda' not 'referendums' - is there any reason why this should not be corrected?86.44.131.32 (talk) 12:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

From the Referendum article: Referendums and referenda are both commonly used as plurals of referendum. However, the use of referenda is deprecated by the Oxford English Dictionary, which advises that: "Referendums is logically preferable as a plural form meaning ballots on one issue (as a Latin gerund, referendum has no plural). The Latin plural gerundive referenda, meaning things to be referred, necessarily connotes a plurality of issues." Referendums is the common usage on wikipedia, e.g. Referendums in Australia.

Many thanks Snappy. I have since learned that 'referendums' has also been established as the correct form in Irish law.--86.44.140.169 (talk) 15:22, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
