I am amused by those who play the "we are modern English speakers, therefore forums is right and Fora is old hat and pretentious" card.

Here is a word for those people "Bullshit!" Or two words "Bovem stercore"

Why, if your modern theory is so right, do you bother to use Forums? Why not meeting places?

I heard a so called intellectual expert on the radio recently, sternly damning Latin plurals "No place for pretentious Latin plurals" he said, "aquariums, stadiums, rostrums, it is all quite correct and even preferred today" and he spluttered on. I had to chuckle, when a little later in the conversation, he used the words; data and criteria; Of course, we all know most assuredly that he meant "datums and criterums"
