Little or no EMphasis on certain SYLLables.  ;-)  Unlike ENGlish, where
you EMphasize certain parts of some words (and where the EMphasis
changes depENDing on where in the ENGlish-speaking world you come from).

This lack of syllabic emphasis always trips me up the first few days I'm
in France visiting relatives.  General hilarity ensues.
