appendix vs appendices
- appendix 是單數形式，指書末的「附錄」或人體的「闌尾」。

- 在現代英語中，appendixes 也被廣泛接受為複數形式，尤其常用於指多個「闌尾」。
- 在學術或正式寫作中，使用 appendices 來指多個附錄被認為更為傳統和嚴謹。 EN: Please refer to Appendix A for the survey data. 翻譯: 調查數據請參見附錄 A。
EN:The book contains three appendices with supplementary charts.
翻譯:這本書包含三個帶有補充圖表的附錄。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Appendix"?Which "Appendix" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I have an inflammation in my appendices.
✓I have an inflammation in my appendix.
The medical organ is always singular 'appendix' in this context. 'Appendices' is the plural for supplementary material in books.
×Please refer to the appendixes at the end of the report.
✓Please refer to the appendices at the end of the report.
While both 'appendixes' and 'appendices' are accepted plurals for the book part, 'appendices' is the more traditional and formal plural form, especially in academic writing.
×The book's appendix contains the main argument.
✓The book's appendix contains supplementary information.
An 'appendix' in a book is for supplementary, not primary, material. The main content belongs in the chapters.
×He had to surgery his appendix.
✓He had to have surgery on his appendix.
Incorrect verb usage. 'Surgery' is a noun. The correct phrasing is 'have surgery on' or 'undergo surgery for'.
×Check the appendix for the detailed methodology.
✓Check the appendix for the detailed methodology.
This sentence is grammatically correct. The common mistake is using the definite article 'the' incorrectly. When referring to a specific appendix, use 'the'. If the book has only one, 'the appendix' is correct. If referring to it generically, 'an appendix' might be used.
