I've got no idea if I'm right. *grins* But fortis forte is a Latin adjective all right (strong/manly/resolute), and one pronounces all one's letters in Latin. So, y'know. Seems wrong to me- it's the French that get it wrong.

That said, it could be some irritating American thing, like the way you barbarians spell 'axe'.

Hey, I'm all for ax-without-the-e! It gives me a chance to play the 'e' for an end-hook in Scrabble and get an extra ten points!
