Singular of memoranda manual#
While Webster’s notes that using data in the singular is now considered standard- as does the widely used Chicago Manual of Style -a number of house style sheets-insist that data is always plural. Data, for example, is the plural form of the noun datum. Some other words are similarly confusing.


Memos vary in format and the way they are sent. In terms of formality, memos are not as formal as letters. Finally, there may be some sort of closing, but in some cases this is excluded, as is salutations. This part can vary greatly in style, length and detail, depending on the purpose of the memo. Then, there is a second part called the message, where the actual information of the memo is provided. Traditionally, a memo consists of an initial part called the header, indicating who the sender and the intended receiver is, the date, and a subject line.
Singular of memoranda pro#
(The Swedish corresponding term for memo is PM, which is short for promemoria, from Latin pro memoria 'for memory'.)
Singular of memoranda full#
There are different variants of the plural form, with memos for the short term and memoranda or memorandums for the full term being the predominant ones. In terms of the language use of the term, the short version memo works in most situations except for very formal contexts, where the longer term memorandum is preferred. A memo is used as an official note inside an organisation or a company. The term memo is short for the slightly longer term memorandum, a word of Latin origin which in its initial full form - memorandum est - means 'it is to be remembered', according to the Oxford English Dictionary. A memo is a short piece of text, whose main function is to record important information.
