I've come across a pronunciation rules material and found that:
- 2-sylables verbs have the second sylable stressed;
- 2-syllables nouns have the first sylable stressed;
Well, it is valid to "export": ex-PORT (verb), EX-port (noun),since the two forms of pronunciation are listed in Cambridge Dictionary, what doesn't happen in many other 2-sylables verbs.
Should I say: "I accepted her OF-fer." and "She always of-FERS me her help." ?
Or that rule is bullshit?
