So, you're saying it's pronounced "Foe?" Yes, according to the dictionary, that's correct -- and it is the only pronunciation, unlike Tar-Jay and Target, which are both acceptable local terms.

I just wanted to make sure, because I laugh when people think it's pronounced "Fawks" or something akin to that, to sound like "Fox News." It just makes them look retarded.
