forgive my shortcoming vs forgive my shortcomings

Both options are correct, but there is a difference between them. 'Forgive my shortcoming' asks for forgiveness for a specific fault or weakness, while 'Forgive my shortcomings' requests forgiveness for multiple faults or weaknesses. The choice between the two depends on whether you are referring to a single shortcoming or multiple shortcomings.
