    Sorry couldn't resist:

    forte [fawrt, fohrt or, for 1, fawr-tey] Both the one- and two-syllable pronunciations of forte are now considered standard.

    –noun 1. a strong point, as of a person; that in which one excels: I don't know what her forte is, but it's not music.

    I didn't know that about forte! I can't say I have ever heard someone pronounce it as fort...but, now, I can say when I do, I won't correct them!!
