Tips To Keep You From Sounding Stupid

Here is today's tip to keep you from sounding like a moron: The word "forte," the musical term meaning "loud," and the word "forte," meaning "something a person does especially well," are heteronyms and not homonyms. The first "forte" is two syllables, while the second is only one. The "forte" that means one's strong suit rhymes with "snort" and "port."

Remember, a common mistake is still a mistake.
