sure, newbies should do a search before they want to post a query to save their time.

Or should I say Forii? I wish I could find more like this for when we head er to other places than Italy. Tripadvisor is very helpful but this has so much more.

I think the plural of forum is fora.

I believe both forums and fora are equally acceptable, Jenta.

Not to be picky Jenta but, According to the Oxford English Dictionary… forum n. (pl. forums) 1) a meeting or medium for an exchange of views. 2) (pl. fora) (in an ancient Roman city) a public square or marketplace used for judicial and other business. Origin ME: from Latin, lit. what is out of doors.

I accept forums and fora are equally acceptable, but PennyAW wasn't sure about using the word "forii", which I think does not exist, so I thought I'd try to be helpful and suggest an alternative.

Jenta you may be technically correct when you say FORII does not exist. However, you should consider the fact that some terms may not yet have made it into the more formal dictionaries but do reside in common usage and slang, for example. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=forii

If I remember rightly, a noun ending with a 'double ii' in the original Latin would indicate a plural of the nominative case, but Anno Domini now makes itself felt I'm afraid ...

Then I beg your pardon, I had not heard of an urban dictionary before now. Thanks for providing the link, but how acceptable do most people feel the bastardisation of any language really is?

"how acceptable do most people feel the bastardisation of any language really is" Its a facy of life unfortunately. [Me - I've never recovered from finding out that people don't use 'octopodes' anymore]
