Mispronounced Words 101

I'm sure everyone has heard of and/or used the word 'forte'. Am I right? Well as you may be accustomed to saying, "Such and such isn't exactly my for-tay" Yes? Well I have drastic news for, well, anyone who has ever used that word because you have been pronouncing it incorrectly as for-tay. It's a French word, with the root being fort or fortress, as in a strong point. Remember the days in first grade when we learned what 'silent E's' were. That's correct ladies and gents, forte is simply said as fort. Truly! Look it up.
