It's Not "Fodders"???
 

During the past year or so i've talked to several people who log on to the Fodors web site and more than one of them has called it "Fod-ders" when it should be, at least i think "Foh-ders" as i believe that was how Eugene (?) Fodor pronounced his name and the guidebooks he initiated when, by some accounts, he was a covert CIA agent in Eastern Europe. (Hope i don't get Stuart Libbied for this uncovering!)
Anyway its Foe-ders not Fod-ders - or i may be wrong!

Some of us just call it home, Pal.

The correct pronunciation would be "fod-door"

Agree with PalQ, its Foe-ders.

But remember:
Fodor's is fodder for frequent flying fanatics.

Many say "F'dors" with emphasis on last syllable.

The proper Hungarian pronunciation of the name (that is where the surname originates from) is is "fod-door", so it'd be fo-doors.

laclaire,
Exactly !!!

"Anyway its Foe-ders not Fod-ders". I agree with you, PalQ, but that doesn't mean I'm right. It's just how I, as a Brit, enterprets the spelling. (like 'oder', as in the smell).

That's one of the nice things about folks on this site...they have no trouble with your right to be wrong.

((8)) You say Fodders, I say Foeders ((8))

((8)) Let's call the whole thing off ((8))

Oh, please, P_M..your "solution" is much, MUCH too simple and straight forward...absolutely zilch drama effect which is so necessary for the keyboard-bound amongst us.

You mean we don't get french benefits?

Faux-doors

And after you finish, can we please go to discussing the pronunciation of "Fodorite"?

I don't want to be pronounced as "F@$%@-odor-ite" :((
