 Ciao,
  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.)  
 Yes, the English plural is 'forums'. But the Latin one, pretentious
 or not, is 'fora' and not 'fori'. 

 Ciao,

But so what, or did I miss a memo saying that the list is moving over to 
Latin?
