I think "forte" is a common word that may have come from French but has for all practical purposes become an English word. Like en route or faux pas or deja vu or a la carte (haha, since CARTE was one of my guesses).

... Well, this was an educational trip to Google. I've always thought you were supposed to pronounce it FORT, not "for-TAY." Yet I preferred the latter because the former seems to require a French R. Just discovered that apparently it's OK to say "for-TAY," supposedly because that reflects the Italian pronunciation. Theoretically you'd then have to do an Italian R, which is even harder to make sound normal in ordinary American conversation than the French R. But sounds like at this point we've been given permission to say for-TAY in a plain old American accent.

The people I hang around with are suspicious of an ending e that is not silent so we tend to avoid it.
