In Word 2000's autocorrect list. Is 'fora' set to autocorrect to 'for a' as it is on my computer? I'm pretty sure it isn't one that I've added in ignorance, but can someone just check.
It just seems highly funny (if it is true) that the autocorrect feature tries to 'correct' a perfectly valid English word, infact the plural of Forum. Having noticed that, the top of this page lists "The Lurker Lounge Forums" is there a reason why?
I'm not trying to be overly fussy about the lounge, infact, I only just noticed the mistake, I'm just taking point with the fact that Word tries to remove a real word from my document because it was probably a typing error. Especially as Word is normally very fussy about using formal grammar, that they wouldn't recognise a formally correct word and would rather try to remove it.

edit: Infact, I've just noticed that now I've made it the word I wanted, Word has cleverly given it a red underline to tell me that it's a spelling error.
