使用する際の注意点

• Grammatical aspects of the usage of administrivia derive from those that apply to trivia. Formerly trivia, as a derivative of a Latin plural, required a plural verb, as in the first usage example above. Most modern authorities accept the usage in the second usage example. In the US the second usage may be preferred. Compare other Latin plurals such as data.
