RoAnnon Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The current forum url: http://www.annakolia.org/forums is incorrect and needs to be fixed. The plural form of "forum" is "fora", not "forums" Link to post Share on other sites
Malishara Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The plural form of "forum" is "fora", not "forums" From dictornary.reference.com: fo·rum /ˈfɔrəm, ˈfoʊrəm/ Show Spelled[fawr-uhm, fohr-uhm] Show IPA –noun, plural fo·rums, fo·ra /ˈfɔrə, ˈfoʊrə/ Show Spelled[fawr-uh, fohr-uh] Show IPA. 1. the marketplace or public square of an ancient Roman city, the center of judicial and business affairs and a place of assembly for the people. 2. a court or tribunal: the forum of public opinion. 3. an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest. 4. the Forum, the forum in the ancient city of Rome. Both spellings are acceptable, and "forums" seems to be the accepted usage in the context of forum software. Link to post Share on other sites
RoAnnon Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Both spellings are acceptable, and "forums" seems to be the accepted usage in the context of forum software. Both spellings are only acceptable because we had enough ignorant people misspelling it long enough that it worked its way into the dictionary. Wrong is still wrong, no matter how many people claim it's right. Link to post Share on other sites
