Crimson Wife Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Webster's says: curriculum, n. (pl. -lums, -la), a specific course of study or, collectively, all the courses of study in a school, university, etc. And this is why I always have to tell my DD that just because the dictionary lists something doesn't always make it true. I don't want her sounding ignorant, so she has to give the proper plural of Latinate words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
