Incorrect stressing. English is a stress based language, and what word or even syllable you stress changes the goddamned meaning. Get it wrong and it's like nails down a chalkboard for me.

I was just thinking about a similar thing recently! There are things that are two words and I don't know if it's a regional thing or what, but everyone I know puts the stress on the same word/syllable as I do. I don't know which is technically "right" but it's kind of jarring when I hear someone (usually podcast hosts) put the stress on the other word/syllable. There are a few different examples but only two are coming to mind right now: Whole Foods and Taco Bell.

I and all of my family/friends say Whole FOODS and Taco BELL, but I was listening to a podcast recently where they kept saying WHOLE Foods and were making fun of anyone who said it the other way. I feel like in general with two-word things like that I tend to put the stress on the second word, but I'm not sure why or which way is technically "correct".

I'm glad this isn't a deal breaker for me, since it's really common in video game voice acting. (Bethesda games are the worst because they have a weird way of doing it, but I've never played a game with voice acting where I didn't have a few 'why did you put the stress THERE?' moments. ... Or I suppose, 'why did YOU put the STRESS there?' to be consistent with them. >_>)
