That's something that my brother does all the time, put the emphasis on the wrong syllable or word. I don't know if there's a specific rule for emphasizing words/syllables, I'm pretty sure there is, but it should be made known or created if there isn't one. I find it very annoying, one of the most annoying things I've encountered.

Yes.

And do you know what else annoys me? People that end every sentence with an upward intonation that makes the sentence sound like a question even though it's not.

"Urm... I went to... the gym? And then I wanted to drink... some water? But I know it's not good after the gym so... I didn't?"

It's like they don't expect you to understand what they're saying. It's so patronizing. Nothing in there is or should be a question, and yet the person sounds like they are asking you. To which you are supposed to nod or say something like "u-huh" after every part of that sentence. It's so annoyiNG?!

Well, I say it like the former, so no. I don't see the problem. "I want some ice CREAM!" It only feels more natural....

You're catching on! That IS how I say all of those. :-) I put the increased vocal emphasis on the ending vowels.
