I never understood why James Joyce's sequel wasn't as well read as the first book.

I think you may have the premise of your next novel.

It felt hard for me to delete my TikTok account, but I can't imagine what it's like for someone who has the investment you do. I really hope you find a great place to keep sharing and get the audience you deserve.

I agree. But there was a point where the current common pronunciation was wrong and eventually enough people were getting it wrong that they became right.

It was originally one syllable like "fort."

Forte has been mispronounced so many times that it has become considered a valid pronunciation.
