But, in English, I believe is only considered correct when dealing with
physical spaces in a Roman/Latin context and is usually considered
pretentious when dealing with virtual, online places. (Generally in
English, it seems that the plural of Latin nouns of this form is now
considered to take the English form -- -ums rather than -a, vis
stadiums, forums, referendums etc, sad as that may be.)
