FreeBass - it is not A "fora", it is two or more fora. Fora is the proper (but usually ignored) plural of forum--like aquaria and memoranda for aquarium and memorandum. The words are based on Greek but here in America, laziness and poor education are making the incorrect formats become acceptable. The one word/plural of this type that makes me grind my teeth most is the use of data as a singular noun. Datum is singular--data is plural. Just as an amusing tidbit, the singular form of grafiti is grafito...and people wonder why English is so hard to learn LOL.
