It often grates on me when I hear a word which I pronounce in a certain way being pronounced another way. The one which irritates me most is "controversy", which I stress on the 2nd syllable & which British newsreaders insist on stressing on the 3rd syllable. I call this putting the emPHAsis on the wrong syllABle...Perhaps I'm just unreasonable!
