FCUK - French Connection UK is not going to launch its 2008 fashions in Paris Texas until the dispute over: The word forte, coming from French fort, should properly be pronounced with one syllable, like the English word fort. Common usage, however, prefers the two-syllable pronunciation, (fôr'tā'), which has been influenced possibly by the music term forte borrowed from Italian.

In a recent survey a strong majority of the A2K Usage Panel; 75 percent of the four members preferred the two-syllable pronunciation. The result is a delicate situation; speakers who are aware of the origin of the word may wish to continue to pronounce it as one syllable but at an increasing risk of puzzling their readers - Wandel was last seen behind the parados!

Leaving thread rules to be tightened up - multiple leavings on the same thread to be discouraged - However, as yet; no upper limit has been set on repeat leaving threads due to their popularity!

Our sister publication: The Kankakee Daily-Journal runs with the headline - Herscher girls bound for state - FBI on scene!
