y66 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 If the first base umpire blows the call on what would have been the last out of a perfect game, do you spend the rest of your life thinking about the one that got away or do you shake it off and record it in your mind as a perfect game anyway?

Hard to put myself in that position, but I hope I'd shake it off. Damn though, that was really awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was almost screaming at the TV for the Tigers to protest the game, as then I *think* the baseball main office can do something about the call?

ggwhiz Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 The OED (second edition) does not give "fora" as the plural of "forum", whereas it does give (for example) "curricula" as the plural of "curriculum". In Roman towns and cities there was generally only one forum - the central meeting place or market place. The exception, of course, was Rome itself - but even there, the area between the Palatine and Capitoline hills was referred to as "Forum Magnum" or simply "Forum", while other locations designated as "forum" were known by a description of the business conducted there ("forum piscarium" was the fish market) or the Emperor in whose honour they were built ("forum Augustum"). This meant that although the plural "fora" existed as a grammatical construct, almost no one ever used it. Whereas there are reasons why certain Latin plurals continue to be used as the Romans used them, there seems to me (and perhaps to the clever men at Oxford) to be no reason why English speakers should use a Latin plural that the Romans did not use themselves. This forum (fora?) MUST be hi-jacked and the posters saved from ?????. Forget Icelandic, I'm goin Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlall Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I gotta admit it tilts me when people say "fora" it's like they're trying to sound smart when really they sound pretty dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
