I have a quibble with the "Quibble of the Week" listed in the May 31 trivia article. Where you state, "TechRepublic member Bill had some useful addendums to the subject of early space station concepts," the plural of addendum is addenda, not addendums.

In the current discussion:

the plural of the word "referendum" was challenged, but in this instance the dictionaries list both "referenda" and "referendums" as correct usage.
