Florid—flŏr´id, not flō´rĭd.
Florin—flŏr´in, not flō-rĭn. A piece of money.
Florist—flō´rist, not flŏr´ist.
Forage—fŏr´aje, not fō´raje.
Forceps—fôr´seps, not fōr´seps. The word is spelled the same in both the singular and the plural numbers. Such mistakes as, "hand me a forcep," instead of "hand me a forceps," are very common. Strictly speaking, "a pair of forceps," ought, I suppose, to mean two forceps; but like the expressions "a pair of scissors" and "a pair of stairs," the phrase has been in use so long that it must be tolerated.
Forehead—fŏr´ed, not fōr´hĕd. Worcester allows either.
Foreign—fŏr´in, not fŭr´in.
Fortnight—fôrt´nīte, not fōrt´nīte, fōrt´nĭt nor fôrt´nĭt. Worcester gives what is authorized above and fôrt´nĭt.
Fortress—fôr´tress, not fōr´tress.
Fragile—frăj´ĭl, not frā´jĭl nor frā´jīle.
