address
/æˈdɹɛs/
When used as a noun to mean a location, it is a countable noun (e.g., 'one address', 'two addresses'). When used as a verb meaning 'to deal with' or 'to speak to', the word sounds different than when used as a noun. In the verb form, the stress is usually on the second syllable (ad-DRESS), whereas in the noun form, it is on the first syllable (AD-dress). The phrase "address the issue" is very common in professional and business settings to mean 'fixing' or 'discussing' a problem.
