What sounds better:
"Public forums" or "Public Fora"?
I'm picking the latter...

What I was trying to infer is that it's tricky business as it is a Latin word and so various people and languages will treat/alter them differently. Not to mention the 'US English' instantly-win-any-language-dispute card
In a generic case, I'd vote for both being correct.

A constant number of people use "fora".
The population of the Earth grows exponentially.
Edit: A quick search on Google results in 713,000,000 hits for "forums" vs. 66,200,000 for "fora".

New word... Forucopia.
"Forums" is natural for american english speakers. Most translations of roman texts use this intsead of the latin plural of "foris"...
