If I may be excused for a further detour from medieval religion: "agenda" is
used as a singular noun when it refers to a written list - no one says,
"Where are my agenda? I just put them down for a minute." But then what is
the correct plural for several copies of the list? agenda/agendas? My
personal favourite is criterias, which I heard on the lips of a classicist.
Even Homer sometimes nods.

The usual question before any meeting I attend is 'Everyone got their
agenda?' (Can't do the Wiltshire accent)
