Masculine Noun
Even though it ends in 'd', 'récord' is a masculine noun, so you always use 'el' or 'un' before it (e.g., 'el récord más alto').
Pronouncing the Plural
Mistake: “Using 'récord' for the plural form.”
Correction: The correct plural is 'récords'. The accent remains on the 'e', but unlike many Spanish plurals, the stress doesn't shift when adding the 's'.
