'fora' is the latin plural.

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?
