Difficult for you maybe. I had it mastered before I went to school. But there again, I haven't got a university degree.

Bugger! There I go, I've done it again!

Eddie.....I did issue a welcome to the forum in the same post....

As for having English mastered before you started school..good on you. Most kids in this country start school by the time they're 6 don't they? If you mastered English by the time you were 6 you must have been a child prodigy.....

All in the spirit of things, of cawze

I think Forum is both singular and plural form isn't it?

We should hold a forum to discuss this important issue.

it irks me that the mongrels on this forum cant keep this thread on track, in fact it annoys me almost as much as speling &nd grama.

If you think Eddie is still going to be reading this thread by the time he gets to your reply, think again.

As I remember the plural of forum is fora, as in medium and media, agendum and agenda and stratum and strata.

The suggested 'Fori' is interesting. People often get Greek mixed up with Latin, which is commonly seen in octopi and platypi. These are, in fact, Greek and the plurals are octopodes and platypodes.

Forums is acceptable in modern usage cause we've all become such peasants and nobody cares about such vital things as spelling, grammar, syntax, past participles and declensions no more.

Will stand corrected but all this crap was beaten into me for years.

Best answer is Forex, I believe.

Yeah, yeah I know, **** off Bodgy you boring bastard
