I've Nothing Better To Think About.

Recently, I've become aware that a lot of people pronounce the word "permit" the same whether they're using it as a noun or a verb (namely, putting emphasis on the second syllable). I've always thought that stressing the second syllable implied verb usage, and for noun usage the first syllable ought to be emphasized.

Am I crazy? Does anyone else care?
