Fork (singular)...
There are two ways to measure fork length: axle-to-crown and straight-line length parallel to the steering axis. The length of the steerer tube is also important. Rake, dropout OLD, and a number of other parameters are also important.
L in this drawing is the straight-line length, while AC is the axle-to-crown length.
