Forementioned/aforementioned

[99bottles]

I don't have a certain sentence in mind. I just want to know the difference, if any. I googled their meanings and they do not seem to be different. Nor could I find any thread explaining their difference.

 

[Roman55]

The difference is that forementioned isn't a word.

 

[GoesStation]

Aforementioned should only be used in very formal writing.

 

[Roman55]

It exists, much it is much less commonly used than 'aforementioned'. Ngram.

I will bow to your superior knowledge, but I have never seen it, used it, or found it in a dictionary.
