Pronounced fuh-sod and meaning "charade" or "farce" or "fake". Am I spelling it wrong or just losing my mind? I've searched google and online dictionaries to no avail!!

I didn't exactly know how to spell it either, but I'm bright enough to use a dictionary properly. :p

Thanks for the clarification! I did try it with a 'c' but I left off the 'e' at the end.

Not really. Look at my link...both are acceptable.

Well...maybe it's because I took four years of French in high school. In French, it's façade.

Besides, I'm afraid to look at your 'link'.

;)

I couldn't remember the keystroke for the fancy "c". :eek: but both are acceptable.
