Julia Hardy, gaming personality of BBC’s Radio One, has just exposed that we’ve all been pronouncing ‘Forza‘ incorrectly, and everyone’s shocked.
Speaking on Radio One about her game of the week, Forza Horizon 4, Hardy received a message from someone complaining about her pronunciation of the game, which she called ‘Fort-Zah.’

Apparently though, she’s actually right, and we’ve all been saying it wrong for years.

Twitter had a lot to say on the matter, which lots of people saying they’d always known the truth behind the Italian title.
Frigging THANK YOU. I had an italian textbook in high school that was literally called Forza and even had a song teaching you how to pronounce it lol. I was going mad hearing that For-zah instead of Fort-zah pronounciation.

Not everyone was thrilled with the revelation though, with one user tweeting: “How do you pronounce it??? For za or fortsa?? I prefer Forza personally so I’ll just use that if it’s ok with everyone else :/”
