pronunciation - Is forte pronounced fort or for-tay? - English . . . Summary: The confusion may come from 'forte' as used in music for strong or loud, which is definitely pronounced 'for tay' = ˈfɔr teɪ In French, the same letters are pronounced 'fort' = fɔrt But those languages are not English, and English has its own rules, inspired by the originals but with no compunction to remain faithful, at least here with the French borrowing

Differences between propensity, predilection and proclivity 0 They're essentially synonymous: Proclivity is 'leaning to', propensity is 'nearness to' and predilection is 'preference for' Worry about something more significant like the misuse of the words irony and disinterest or the mispronunciation of the the words route and forte
Is there a collective term to describe coffee and tea? Any term to describe both of them — coffee and tea collectively? I wanted to call it beverages but that also includes drinks outside coffee and tea Also, I could call it hot drinks but that would
Double negation: not, neither - nor in a sentence The last sentence is OK; the other two are overnegated The not in the first clause scopes the second one too, so you don't need to repeat the negative in it The first ones are OK because the negative doesn't scope the second clause, which needs some negation Though neither had he is very odd and archaic construction, especially in a supposedly parallel sentence
