Tangent

My use of the word "entendre" in the previous post brings to mind a conversation that I overheard at a wedding this past weekend.

Apparently, the word "forte" when used in the context of meaning "strength" is pronounced "fort" instead of "for-TAY" like it is in music. Thus, in the usage "Addition is not his forte" you would pronounce the word as "fort."

Of course, this could lead to the pun-tastic expression, "Pronunciation is not his for-TAY."
