Look at these guys,
They’re okay.
Their sales are great buys,
(Well, except for today’s.)
They feign Japanese,
While deals they broker.
Hey, they’re not called
“woot” or “great deals”
They’re just meh.
They put up an okay website
Because they’re still just mediocre.
The word is “forte” pronounced fort. for-tay is a musical term.
Basically, fort means strong in Latin and was borrowed by Italian as a musical term and by the French for strength. The word came to English via both of them, and is pronounced accordingly.
That being said, because so many people mispronounce the word, for-tay is considered an acceptable pronunciation both. Bleh.
I pity the fool that didn’t watch this show.
