Not that you quite meant this, but I'm always amused (and still a little
startled) when I listen to talks recorded from, say, PyCon and hear
people with American accents pronouncing Python with the stress on the
slightly longer second syllable.

(I don't know how other English-speaking groups say the word, but in
England the first syllable is stressed and the second is the
conventional short "uh" sound).
