theres a will theres moe posted:it's a mulTIMeter, not a MULTImeter. I kind of agree, but I work with multimeters everyday and I've never heard anyone say mulTIMeter. Even master electricians say MULTI-meter. There's not really any logic behind the syllable stress in most English words. As with many aspects of English, there are so many exceptions to every rule that there are scarcely any rules.

It's really cool when separate words get mushed together to form one "word". Like the difference between blue bird and bluebird. But in this case chinese food remains separated, but the emphasis moves around.

If the H isn't silent in your dialect don't precede it with 'an'. Unless you are a cockney it's not an horrific disaster. Also it's aitch not haitch.

For some odd reason, for the past few years my mom pronounces "thirsty" as "thirs-day" (almost like "thursday"). It drives me nuts.

Here's one that'll bother a lot of people. A lot of British people pronounce "Nike" as rhyming with bike. This is also how they defend the pronunciation to you when you point out that it's an American company named after a Greek goddess, both of the other groups pronouncing it with two syllables.

This is why I don't get mad over how Americans say lieutenant, like proper British Brits do. But it appears that Brits use both pronunciations of lieutenant, one for naval, one for army. Or something like that.

Checking yourself/humble-bragging for being pedantic seems to be a thing now. If most of your audience clearly doesn't know what pedantic means, you are actually being didactic. Pointing out this difference is pedantic, which sets up a Hofstadterian strange loop. Calling this Hofstadterian is didactic, so... Really best to avoid these words, and self-reference in general.
