Holy Mackeral! Honestly, I was thinking of 'forte' as meaning a
person's strong point. It never occured to me that my word had any
relation to the previous word. But there it is, the shortest
five-letter game in history:
forte 0 lastword
piano 5 remmers
Now you know why we all agree with remmers - it's his amazing psychic
powers.

piano = soft
forte = loud
Sheet music is commonly marked with P and F for soft and loud (for some
reason, just as Latin was the official language for science and French
was the official language of diplomacy, Italian became the official
language for music.) A pianoforte is an obselete name for a keyboard
musical instrument that can play both softly and loudly, according to
how hard the keys are struck. I sure don't see anything psychic in
remmers's guess. I'd be more surprised if he didn't make that guess.

(it's not psychic. Remmers is just exploiting the power of suggestion.)

German became the official language for physical sciences. Latin led
only in taxonomy and anatomy. Of course, all such associations are
dependent upon time and place.
