That's because this is an AutoCorrect feature.

To switch replacement off completely, go to Tools | AutoCorrect 
Options... | Options and remove the tick(s) from "Use replacement table".

More sensibly, disable just the autocorrection you dislike:
o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace.
o Scroll down to and select the line showing "fora" and "for a".
o Click Delete.

Note that another technique is to go to Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z) 
immediately the AutoCorrect happens: this will remove the 
autocorrection but keep your typing.

Oh, and another workaround is to use the plural "forums" instead!

I trust this helps.
