In Latin, the plural is "fora", because the noun "forum" follows the second type of declension and has neutral gender. For this type of declension, you have a nominative singular neutral noun... But, I think "forums" is the best usage today. It sounds less snobbish.

I agree. I was hoping that I was being rhetorical in my post.

And people in hell are hoping for ice water, too.

Yes, and they will be that way fora while.

I'm going to guess pictures of a very nice tuba?

I know the meaning. Just trying to attribute it to someone.

HornPorn — first time I read this term was in a post by Hans Pitzka on the old Horn List email group in 1997.

Fora — In 1995 on a CompuServe internal News Group (that was sort of like a primitive version of the then-popular AOL themed "Chat Rooms") there was a clutch of lists about wildflowers and weeds collectively called "Flora Fora". I always liked that name.

I didn't know the meaning! Just trying to take a guess!

I've missed out on all the jargon. Hopefully I'll pick up soon.
