TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I attended a meeting yesterday in which the document I maintain was
discussed. The document contains a lot of appendices (one for each patch
that is applied to a system). I made a comment that included the word
"appendices." The leader of the meeting subconsciously decided that the
singular for appendices is appendicee rather than appendix. Oddly, the use
of the word spread throughout the 13 people in the meeting, until they were
ALL saying "appendicee." It was surreal!
