Episode: Corrigendum
Description: Corrigendum is a noun that refers to an error.The origin of corrigendum is in the Latin word corrigere (core ee GARE ay) which means ‘to bring into order’ or ‘to correct.’As an editor, I often deal with writers who get frustrated when they see a corrigendum that embarrasses them. I always assure them that all writers have things that need be corrected. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t have a job.
