Want to post in AIBU really, but it's a bit specialist and probably belongs over here. Am I getting unnecessarily irritated by the use of 'fora' as a plural for 'forums'? Sure, forum is a Latin word, but I don't believe it was used in the sense of an internet discussion board back in Julius Caesar's day. It has been adopted as a modern English word and should therefore have a modern regular English plural for the sake of clarity.
Tell me I'm not wrong.
