Hey..

Allrighty, for one reason or another I've been reading a lot (like 2) posts by Joe Johnson, and he seems to like the word fori.

Doing a quick search of CD returned that fori was used in 12 posts, while forums was used in 500. (I think that might just be the cap on results...)

So..

a) To you english majors.. which is *more* correct.. fori or forums, OR are they both correct in one of those strange english language sorta ways?

b) Which do you use & why..

heh.. totally random i know. just wonderin :)

ps: I'm a forums kinda guy.

The correct plural forms of "forum" are "forums" and "fora".

Forums for me, as well... despite what Dr. Joe may be advocating in his posts :p
