<Conversely, I only feel like a little jackass referring to the forums I read on AWAD since none of my friends can understand why I'm interested in posting on a word board in the first place>
Would this then make you a 'Em-Em' instead of a 'Dub-ya Dub-ya'?? minimule??

I feared you all would get the right answer.
In reviewing the draft, I changed "forums" to "fora" and said that the correct plural needed to be used (one of the drafters seemed to insist on using "fora" for the singular, adjectival form, as in "fora members," which didn't help me to think especially rationally about it all).
In thinking about it, I began to worry about where it would fall on the snoot-simple axis - and now, taking the wise counsel of the gang here, I get to reverse myself and argue for "forums."
Thanks for the input.

So, Hyla, do you go out to the Boardroom and announce "I've been spending the taxpayers time on the Internet with my friends in the chatroom. They say we should use 'forums'. Forums it is!!' Or do you just say, "I think we should use 'forums'."

'Tain't no chatroom.
And I'd refer to y'all as "a panel of experts" or some such.
And you can consider this particular time covered by your very own tax contribution, Ms. Milnovecientosnoventaydos. ;)
