And, indeed
in the addled minds of just about everyone else in the English-speaking world. I fear this may be an instance of having to accept that the moral decay of society is irreversible.

Is "heiroglyphs" the correct term or am I thick?

I have reluctantly accepted the said decay - but occasionally I get to whinge about it in places like this :) Hieroglyph is indeed the noun.

Hieroglyphs would be a plural noun, non-specific.
Yes, I believe 'hieroglyphs' is the correct term. You wouldn't, for example, say that temple walls are covered in hieroglyphics; you'd say that temple walls are covered in hieroglyphs or covered in hieroglyphic script.
