Usage. As with other plurals of Latin or Greek origin, like media and criteria, there is a tendency to use the plural PHENOMENA as a singular (This phenomena will not be seen again), but such use occurs infrequently in edited writing. The plural form PHENOMENAS, though occasionally seen, has even less currency. |
