That's an American stress? I didn't realize that. I use both pronunciations, depending on how I'm using the word (ADD-ress for noun, addRESS for verb).
Hmmmm, stress is workable even with adDRESS although involves duffing the as thee. Wish I was as good as you with the IPA!
Oh gosh! I haven't heard that for ages. It does annoy me that it's written with American stress though (ADdress not adDRESS).
socket makes me a little bit queasy. Learning about dry socket only intensified that feeling, so I'm not sure quite where it came from.
"If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort.
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!"
