In Latin, the plural is "fora", because the noun "forum" follows the second type of declension and has neutral gender. For this type of declension, you have a nominative singular neutral noun... But, I think "forums" is the best usage today. It sounds less snobbish.

I agree. I was hoping that I was being rhetorical in my post.

I know the meaning. Just trying to attribute it to someone.

HornPorn — first time I read this term was in a post by Hans Pitzka on the old Horn List email group in 1997.

Fora — In 1995 on a CompuServe internal News Group (that was sort of like a primitive version of the then-popular AOL themed "Chat Rooms") there was a clutch of lists about wildflowers and weeds collectively called "Flora Fora". I always liked that name.

I've missed out on all the jargon. Hopefully I'll pick up soon.
