Both are already correct. Both are singular, and forum is the correct singular form. Or else I'm missing your point somehow. > And more importantly, do you say it that way in everyday speach[sic], or > how many poeple[sic] you hear doing it? If you're asking me how I say the plural of forum, I actually say "fora", since I don't know how to pronounce "forae". I only took latin for 1 year and it was 35 years ago. I've forgotten a thing or two. But look at the top of this page. The header is > Slim Devices : Community : Forums > User Forums > General Discussion > > Logitech being absolutely OTT ?! "Forums" is wrong. Sorry. No one says datums, as in "I got the newest datums on sales of new products today". We say "I got the newest data". So why do we say forums? Referendums? How many other people do I hear saying "fora"? Admittedly, not many, more's the pity. Worse, I hear people who are supposed to be our examples, TV announcers, political commentators, saying "referendums" all the time around election time.
