Memorándum (also written memorando) is a formal internal document in business or diplomacy. The RAE accepts both spellings; memorando is gaining ground as the fully Hispanicized form. The plural is memorandos or memoranda; the Latin plural memoranda appears in formal legal contexts. It is masculine: un memorándum.
