A memoranda is something that you have suddenly remembered, so you need to write it down quickly before you forget it again. Since this word comes from Latin, the plural is "memorandices."
I hope this helps.

Curious -
I've always been taught that "memorandum" is the singular & "memoranda" is the preferred plural [the second accepted plural being "memorandums"]. Nowhere do I find any reference to the term "memorandices".

I'm glad there's someone who acknowledges that other than me. I was loath to comment because the last time I pointed out that there was no such word, several MVPs came down on me like a ton of bricks, insisting that there was. I'm just a (former) Latin teacher; what do I know?
