A note at work yesterday refers to "fora" as the plural of forum.
References are fairly united that, although "fora" is the plural of the
Latin word, the accepted plural is "forums" with "fora" as an
alternative. Which is "correct" today?

If you adopt a word into a language then generally the rules of that
language apply. Hence 'le weekend' etc. Those who wish to use the Latin
plural are simply trying to prove how clever they are. The exception might
be where the original word that is adopted is already a plural.
