Pronunciation
Article needs pronunciation guide for the word. (In plain English not IPA of course.) Tempshill (talk) 14:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- The key in the article gives a pronunciation that rhymes with "bet". In my experience (southern England) I've only heard anyone pronounce it it rhyming with "late". matt (talk) 13:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with Matt. In British English Fête is usually a homophone for fate. The Oxford English Dictionary gives this as the preferred pronunciation, but also permits the alternative originally given.Tmal222 (talk) 17:28, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
