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.

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]
