Well, you and I both know that intelligence isn't Dubya's fortay.

(Did I spell "fortay" correctly?)

Let's just say spelling isn't yours...

At least I'm willing to admit it. How about you, Dubya?

Dubya: Hold on. Let me call my daddy for advice on how to answer your question.

It would seem that you did spell "fortay" correctly. Unfortunately, the word you want is "forte", and you did not spell that correctly.

I'm sorry teacher Omega. I do not know what came over me. Some of my old habits die hard. I'm sorry teacher.

Tom: Actually, no, it's just "forte". Technically, it's supposed to be pronounced like "fort", as that's the word from which it was derived. But someone started spelling it w/ an 'e', and then people apparently confused it w/ the Italian word "forte" (pronounced "for-tay", a musical terminology), thus leading to the current pronunciation.

So says the Random House dictionary behind me, anyway.

You seem to have put the 'A' section behind you. At least up through the word "apostrophe"...
