"And forte is pronounced FORT not FORTAY."


i believe that is incorrect.


"forte" as in the feminine version of "fort" is pronounced "fort"... "fort" (masculine), pronounce "for"....


however, the anglicized "forte" is correct in being pronounced "fortay"... why? English bastardization. We do that. It happens with many, many a word.
