 | | —Usage note Like some other nouns borrowed from the Greek, criterion has both a Greek plural, criteria, and a plural formed on the English pattern, criterions. |
 | | The plural in -a occurs with far greater frequency than does the -s plural: These are the criteria for the selection of candidates. |
 | | Although criteria is sometimes used as a singular, most often in speech and rather infrequently in edited prose, it continues strongly in use as a plural in standard English, with criterion as the singular. |
