[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] 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. [/QB][/QUOTE]
