To everyone
I don't know if I'm asking too much, but when somebody writes a pronunciation form... why don't everybody use capital letters in the stressed sylab: vgr. If I write my name (Esteban) this way:
es-teh-ban, you don't know if I pronounce "ES-teh-ban", "es-TEH-ban" or "es-teh-BAN". But if I use "es-TEH-ban", then you'll sure know the right way. Thanks.

I think it probably is standard for regulars . . .
I know I always do it, and everyone I can think of off the top of my head does it too. It's probably only the occasional newbie or random passing person who doesn't put emphasis in their pronunciations.
Maybe regulars should get into the habit of asking people who don't give emphasis to provide it.
