I agree with you, but my typing fingers act as if they were speaking out loud, and they apparently believe that fora rolls off the tongue and into the ear better. I'm a poet, remember, and there's always new competition in the fora of APOD for the poet laureate title, so I have an image to maintain. You can't become a great orator by practicing orumtory.Chris Peterson wrote:guess what I think of using fora instead of ... forums

Re: The Double Cluster (2009 Dec 04)
Hah, well at least you're not having an argument over the plural form of the male genitalia. I did that once.
I fixed the guest access to the forum listing. And I think I will avoid using a plural version of forum for now.
(They wanted to say 'penii'! That's just wrong!)

Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Actually, I avoid that already. The plural only became necessary for me to express while mentioning sub-fora, and sub-forums is a particularly mumbly sounding word.geckzilla wrote:I think I will avoid using a plural version of forum for now.
