Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.

Example:

In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.

    If it were music it would be forta, as in the Italian pronunciation of pianoforte. Which would be correct, according to M-W.

    I will start using this pronunciation immediately. I always assumed it is derived from the French forté.

    So thanks for pointing this out!
