Errata is plural in Latin but it's singular in English according to my
Meriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionay, Tenth Edition (1993), which
defines it as "a list of corrigenda" or "a page bearing such a list".
If so, then mail the RFC-Editor, and tell them that they're wrong in
(rightly) thinking that 'errara' is plural:
In general, we cannot guarantee the correctness of these errata; the reader
must make his/her own judgment.
The same dictionary says that the plural of the English word erratum
is errata. Errata is both singular and plural, so the RFC-Editor's
usage is also correct.
One usage being correct does not imply another usage is wrong.
