You guys are drifting towards one of my pet peeves: pronunciation. Where I live, people talk about getting a "per-MIT", when the proper pronunciation is "PER-mit". There are many such noun/verb pairs that get slaughtered/confused constantly. In general, the noun is accented on the first syllable, the verb not, as in:
RE-search vs. re-SEARCH
RE-cord vs. re-CORD
AL-ly vs. al-LY
Dislcaimers: This doesn't always work; I don't know the formal rules; just something I noticed; I'm sure someone else can come up with many more than I! :0)
