Hah, I fought a battle for months at a Nordic automotive OEM, to try to stop them from overusing "fora", to no avail. They were so convinced that it was the proper word to use, they also used it in singularis, as in "We will bring that up in another fora", often then also referring to a single meeting to be held in the next day. This is only one tale out of many on how corrupted the corporate Scandinavian English can be, and sadly, since being essentially marinated in this parlance, I can probably only detect and reflect of a fraction of the linguistical felonies committed around me, and worse: by myself.
