But, in English, I believe is only considered correct when dealing with 
physical spaces in a Roman/Latin context and is usually considered 
pretentious when dealing with virtual, online places. (Generally in 
English, it seems that the plural of Latin nouns of this form is now 
considered to take the English form -- -ums rather than -a, vis 
stadiums, forums, referendums etc, sad as that may be.)
