I just thought it was funny he tried to come back at you and made the same error yet again :lol: Honestly I don't care about other people's spelling/grammar these days as it's generally piss poor throughout most forums and I've never once seen anyone say thanks when corrected and actually learn to write basic English properly. The response in this case was totally predictable!

I would put a double space before “I’ll” and only three dots after coat. :lol:

I really didn't mean any malice by it. The response had me in stitches though!

Nice to see others who appreciate the effort, especially the Latin lovers above! Fora...legends! Remember lads, that also extends to stadia as the plural to stadium! I'm on a roll...but will now get my coat...LOL!

Interestingly the Oxford Dictionary actually does list the plural of forum as forums. I never did study Latin though, so I struggle a bit with Harry Potter books!

The plural fora refers to a square as in where a meeting might be held and does come from the Latin. The correct plural for forum as in where we exchange banter is forums.

The grammar police are on every forum. I had a guy accuse me of 'mispeling' a word. You can't make it up, he wouldn't have it when it was pointed out by another member that he had misspelt the word. I also see shocking spelling in some car magazines where, I assume, they rely on Spellcheck or Spillchick as I call it. Incidentally, misspelt which is the correct spelling, has a red wavy line under it on this post, hmmmm.
