I understand that the point isn't really important to you at *this*
point and that's okay. But it is important to disseminate information
that is correct when we are given the opportunity. The words are
easily
confused and the way I see it is that this is a perfect opportunity to
help readers who may have not remembered since their last literature
class (how long ago?) that a writer would never ask an influential
person to write the "forward" to that writer's book. Small matter to a

dentist ... not a small matter on a relatively entry level English
Literature exam.

Webby's right (as usual). The noun is "foreword." The use of "forward"
is inappropriate as it is an adverb and an adjective, but not a noun.

And "foreward" doesn't even appear on the map.

Communication among educated people is enhanced when their written
messages display a respectable command of the language.
