English Usage - addenda, addendum.

Addenda is a Latin plural form meaning ‘a list of additional items’; if there is only one item, addendum is the traditional form to use. Addenda should therefore only ever be used as a plural, not as a singular. So, you may well be perceived as incorrect if you use addenda as a singular, as in a new edition with an invaluable addenda, instead of a new edition with invaluable addenda, or if you use addendas.
