Is Appendix or appendices is correct?

Question

Just not too sure everyone i have asked seems split 50/50. Over to you guys to sort this out

Answer 1

Ditto

Answer 2

You can have only one appendix, as it is the singular.
More than one, and you use appendices, as it is plural.

If you have a collection of appendices at the end of a book, then each section is a separate appendix, but the collection are the appendices.

I recommend "Fowler's Modern English Usage" for resolving things like this.

Answer 3

Appendix is the singular (and an organ in the body), Appendices is the plural.

Answer 4

Appendices are multiple instances of an appendix. ie. The word appendix (sing.), is appendices in the plural.

Your grammar is bordering on the moronic.

Answer 5

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Appendix may refer to:

1/ Appendix (book design) a reference section at the end of a book
2/ In law an appendix is an addition or addendum to a contract
3/ In Anatomy - a section at the end of an organ; in particular the vermiform appendix, a part of the human digestive system of disputed function.

Answer 6

They are both English words. Both are 'correct'.

You can have your appendix removed and have an appendix in a book.

You can only have one appendix removed. A book can have appendices.....more than one appendix.

This is in the UK English sense. US English may be different.

Answer 7

appendix is 1- appendices is more than 1.

Answer 8

They are both correct. Appendix is singular and Appendices is plural.

Answer 9

Aappendix is 1 (singular)
Appendices is more than 1 (plural).

Answer 10

Appendices for more than one and appendix if not.

Comes from Latin plural form of word, like Matrix and Matrices.
