    Does anybody know of any decent, half-reliable, grammar forums out there, preferably with a nice FAQ section. Fleecing through Strunk and White anytime I have a grammatical quandry is not making my work days anymore productive...what do you scribes use?

    And, more to the point, should I have entitled this thread 'Decent grammar fora'?? :(

    Madou, why don’t you try the English forum? There are some very good debates there on grammar, spelling, punctuation etc. Posters come in regularly with interesting questions, and the regulars and others are always willing to help. The response is generally very knowledgeable and thorough.

    I also think it would be very appropriate if these two forums communicated. By the way, the issue of the plural of ‘forum’ has been discussed (I can’t remember where). Someone made the following valid point: Since ‘forums’ is English, and ‘fora’ is Latin, it should be ‘forums’. The Latin term is often regarded as pretentious. Both terms are considered acceptable nowadays.
