Well, I "of" flushed out a fellow pedant, there's much dissent on this one...
I'm just a mere engineer, not a scholar. I never was much good at English; however, I did manage to get my Latin O-level grade C. It's weird that I could understand Latin better than English. Mind you, it was so exciting. There was prancing Pyrrhus holding up the sword while it glinted in the sunlight, then he thrust it into Priam right up to the hilt. The blood went everywhere and his feet were slipping in it when he tried to walk away. I can still remember it after 50 years. Yes, much better than the books like "Two Non-binaries Find Their Safespace" that the kids have to read today. Do they still teach Latin? I can't say I've ever heard it mentioned in the last 30 years or so.Well, I "of" flushed out a fellow pedant, there's much dissent on this one...
Fora and forums are plurals of forum. The former conforms to the original Latin, which some people prefer, while others like the Anglicized form. Neither is right or wrong, and choosing between them is mostly a matter of preference. Be aware, however, that forums is by far the more common form in most types of writing throughout the English-speaking world. Fora still has the edge in scientific and scholarly contexts, though. This is not surprising, as Latin forms are typically more common in these types of writing. Outside these contexts, fora can be distracting and even confusing to readers who are used to seeing the English word.
