When it comes to plural forms, I was always confused! Just like you, I would be looking up the singular words plural formation...
Here are some really simple tricks that helps me remember plural forms:
- Did you know that most plurals are formed by adding an -s to the end of the word? Yes!
- If the noun ends in a consonant plus "–y," form the plural by swapping the "–y" for "–ies."
- If the noun ends in "–ch," "-s," "-sh," "-x," or "-z," form the plural by adding "–es."

Referenda & Referendums
Definition : a public vote on a particular issue
Latin has given English a sizable portion of its vocabulary, and one of the reasons that so many of our words are descended from that language is that they have entered our tongue at a number of distinct points. Some, such as butter , date back to the Roman invasion of Britain. Others came to us in the middle ages, from the Norman Conquest. Others still did not arrive until the 19th century, often as part of an expanding scientific vocabulary. Referendum is one of those late arrivals, initially used to describe a vote on the Swiss constitution at that time. Both referendums and referenda are correct.
Of course it will all take time— The population must be reassured, The boundary must be surveyed, There'll be royal commissions, referenda…. —Margaretta D’Arcy and John Arden, The Non-Stop Connolly Show: Part Six , 1978 quote here
Syllabuses & Syllabi
Definition : a summary outline of a discourse, treatise, or course of study or of examination requirements
Syllabus comes to English from the Latin sillybus , which actually has nothing to do with buses or silliness ( sillybus refers to a label for a book). Both forms of the plural are acceptable, although people might look askance at you if you use syllabi .
Gymnasiums & Gymnasia
Definition : a large room used for various indoor sports (such as basketball or boxing) and usually equipped with gymnastic apparatus
Very few people use gymnasia as the plural of gymnasium anymore, but it can come in handy if you want to confuse people. And if you desire still more obscure information about this word, know that it can be traced to a Greek word meaning “to exercise naked” ( gymnazein ). The naked aspect of this word’s history has been largely set aside in English, although Nathan Bailey, in his 1727 Universal Etymological English Dictionary , defined the word gymnologize as “to dispute naked, or like an Indian Philosopher.”
"Had you rather witness the sports of the gymnasia than the works of artists?" inquired Plato. —Lydia Maria Francis Child, Philothea , 1836
Miasmas & Miasmata & Miasms
Definition : a vaporous exhalation formerly believed to cause disease
Most words have a single plural form, while others feel the need to have two. Others are more gluttonous still (such as octopus , the plural of which may be octopi , octopuses , or octopodes ), and require three different ways of pluralizing. Miasma is one of those triplets. So if you have more than one of these vaporous exhalations (and we hope you never do), they may be described as miasmas , miasmata , or miasms .
Not a whit, fair sir—a cordial cup of sack, impregnated with wormwood is the best anti-pestilential draught; and, to speak the truth, the pestilential miasmata are now very rife in the atmosphere. —Anon., Mary of Scotland, or The Heir of Avenel , 1821
Terminuses & termini
Definition : either end of a transportation line or travel route
Given that the above two words are obscure variant plurals of a somewhat obscure singular form ( terminus ), it is quite unlikely that you will have need of distinguishing between them. But seeing as how the joy of unexpected knowledge is not regulated by need, we have included them anyway. You may use either terminuses or termini (but not terminusses ) with ferocious and joyful impunity.
Home from a world of late-liberal distraction To rain and tenfoots clogged with leaves, To the life's work of boredom and waiting, The bus-station's just-closing teabar, The icy, unpromising platforms of regional termini…. —Sean O’Brien, After Laforgue (from HMS Glasshouse), 1991
Memorandums & Memoranda
Definition : an informal record: also, a written reminder
Many usage guides have taken pains to warn their readers of a potential problem with the plural of memorandum . This is not whether or not to use memorandums or memoranda (either is fine), but rather to avoid using memorandas . Some words with similar Latinate endings in English will allow an a ending to take an s (such as agendas ), but memorandas is not among them.
But what does our proud Ign'rance Learning call, We odly Plato 's Paradox make good, Our Knowledge is but mere Remembrance all, Remembrance is our Treasure and our Food; Nature's fair Table-book our tender Souls We scrawl all o'er with old and empty Rules, Stale Memorandums of the Schools…. —Jonathan Swift, Ode to the Honorable Sir William Temple , c1689
Virtuosos & Virtuosi
Definition : one who excels in the technique of an art
Both virtuosos and virtuosi may be found as the plural form of virtuouso , although the former is more common than the latter. Virtuosi is also viewed by a number of usage guides as being overly pedantic, and many will recommend virtuosos instead. So if your desideratum (which is only pluralized as desiderata ) is to use the sort of words that usage guides think of as overly pedantic, well, then virtuosi is the word for you.
Those virtuosi who expend their amiable propensities in transfixing butterflies and impaling gnats would here find ample employment from May till November. —Caroline M. Kirkland, Forest Life , 1850
Appendices & Appendixes
Definition : supplementary material usually attached at the end of a piece of writing
Some people are of the opinion that when giving the plural of appendix one form is appropriate for certain contexts and not for others (stating, for instance, that appendices should be when referring to texts, and appendixes for non-textual things). We have a considerable body of written evidence indicating that these plurals are used interchangeably, so decide which one you are more comfortable with, and use it at will.
Modest Attire, and Meekness, signify A Mind compos'd of Native Purity. Needs no Appendices so to set forth A Jewel of a more admired worth. —Mary Mollineux, Of Modesty (from Fruits of Retirement), 1702

Dear all, Should I ask someone "where is your PowerPoint slide" or "where are your PowerPoint slides" ? Since there are normally multiple slides in a PPT set. What if when it's plural? "I have got your ( three people's ) PPT slides", should I use plural in this case then? Thank you!
It doesn't matter how many people are involved, or who you are talking to, if you are talking about one slide it's singular, so us a singular verb and singular noun. If you are talking about more than one slide, then the verb and noun are both plural.
In actual speech, you're more likely to hear "Where's your PPT?" or "Where are your PPTs?" Or perhaps "presentation/presentations". But if you say "Power Point slide(s)", it's as heypresto says.

The fact that an image is no longer on celluloid and no longer slides in and out of the frame of a projector doesn't stop it being called a "slide". That's just an example of the meaning of a word adjusting with the times. Click to expand...

Thank you for your reply! So when I refer to one powerpoint set , should I say "your powerpoint slide" or "your powerpoint slides"? It is uncommon to say that? Is it more common to say "powerpoint presentation" or something else? Thanks again.
First, there's no such thing as a PowerPoint (not capitalization) "set." If you mean one slide, you use "slide." If you mean more than one, you use "slides." Same as ordinary singulars and plurals – and has heypresto said in post 2. Andygc already answered the question about what you call a PowerPoint presentation in post 5: Is your PowerPoint ready? Is your presentation ready? Is your PowerPoint presentation ready? (Not wrong but I've never heard anyone be so precise and wordy.)
Sorry, I'm still a little confused, to double check: So when I ask someone to send me a PowerPoint file which contains multiple slides, I'd say "please send me the PowerPoint slides ", doesn't matter that's one file , right? Is "PowerPoint file" a better way to say it? I had someone correct me for saying that, so I'd like to know what's the right way to say it. Thank you.
A PowerPoint presentation is made up of slides, of course, but we don't call the entire presentation "the PowerPoint slides." So I would suggest you say: "Please send me the PowerPoint." It will be one single file. If you were the person putting together a PowerPoint (presentation) and you were all finished except for five slides that someone else was working on, you could ask if they could send you "the PowerPoint slides" (that you need to complete the PowerPoint). But that's a special case and I don't believe you're asking about that.
Thank you very much, sorry about not being very clear about what I was asking, I tried to make it clear. May I ask, when we refer to the entire presentation, we can't call it "PowerPoint slide", right? The person who corrected me told me I should say "PowerPoint slide" when refer to the entire presentation, but I don't agree.

Am I right in thinking that people in the UK, Singapore and the US (from which Copyright is from, if I'm not mistaken) do not often or at all use "PPT" in writing (even in emails)? e.g. "I've attached a PPT my colleague created. Please read it, and let me know if you have any questions." (Here in Japan, which isn't an English-speaking country, of course, we never say "pee-pee-tee" but write "PPT", even in a formal document sometimes, just because it's easier to write than the full name. In informal speech, we say "xxx", which I can't post since it's not English, but it sounds similar to "PowerPo".)
You're right. Your note sounds formal, and I would write 'presentation' or 'Powerpoint file'. In something informal, it might be possible to use ppt as an abbreviation, eg 'Pls see ppt file attached'.
