So maybe I just speak with a UK emphasis pattern? Ha! I grew up reading a lot. Most of my vocabulary comes from reading, rather than hearing a word. As a result, there are some words that I mispronounce because that's how they sounded in my head when I first read them. I've corrected myself in some cases, but less commonly used words are stuck in the original 'wrong' pronunciations.
