terminal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dulles or jfk' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'spoke for forum finally in broken latin' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
The last letters of 'spoke for forum' are 'erm'.
'latin' is an anagram of 'tinal'.
'erm' placed inside 'tinal' is 'TERMINAL'.

'for example' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
