How do you pronounce "Fodor's?"
 
Is it FAH-dors or FOE-dors or fah-DORS?

I pronounce it FOE dors. dors being like your front &quot;door&quot;<BR><BR>

I went to high school with a girl named Gabrielle Fodor, and she pronounced it foe-door like Quinty said.

Just take off the &quot;F&quot; and there you are, it rhymes! There's an official description somewhere in the web site.

Cut-and-paste (hope D. Mangin doesn't blow whistle on that) from main website: <BR>&quot;Let's start with the pronunciation: it rhymes with &quot;motor&quot; and it's the surname of our founder Eugene Fodor, who pioneered the concept of the modern guidebook.&quot;

It is pronounced FOE-doors. I used to pronounce it wrong until I saw an interview with the editor.
