[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? I have never heard anyone pronounce forté as fort. How long has this been going on?[/quote] The e is accented so you know it's silent and not long a. /s[/quote] You are giving out misinformation. A simple Google search on pronunciation would end this silly argument.[/quote] There is some controversy over how to correctly pronounce forte. Common choices in American English are "FOR-tay" and "for-TAY," but many usage commentators recommend rhyming it with fort. In French, it would be written le fort and pronounced more similar to English for.[/quote] Anyone who has had even rudimentary musical training would use the Italian pronunciation of FOR-tay, which is a common and acceptable usage. [/quote] Both are clearly acceptable [/quote]
