[Opinions] Re: Fayt
in reply to a message by Cora
Pronounced like Fight or like Fete, which should have a circumflex? Either way, it seems like a baddish idea. Is their background English-speaking?

It's pronounced like Fate (not sure how Fete is pronounced). Yes, English speaking background.

Fete (still can't do circumflexes!) is from the same root as festival, and in English it's pronounced pretty much like Fate, but in French it's got a shorter e sound, more like the e in let.
