"Forum" is singular. The question is addressed to the fora.

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.

In Latin, forum is a neuter noun; in its plural form, it is correct to say fora.

Latin (it being a dead language)

Since hardly anyone actually uses "fora" as the plural of "forum", it is regarded it as pretentious.

Thing the plural is forae.

"Morae" is the plural of "mora". "Moron" is the singular of "mora". If you can't understand this, you are clearly a mora. Thanks.
