There is quite a difference between suggesting that someone might be feted, rather than fetid.

Thank you. That is all.

yes, I think feted would always be pronounced like "fête." But I couldn't remember whether fetid was pronounced the same, or as it would be if it were spelled in the British way, fœtid. Let alone which was correct in Canada. :)

Context is, at least, a hint, though less so if you're just given the sentence that we were talking about:

"Hm, I wonder if he'll be feted?"
