Default Alacrity - how do you pronounce it?
Well? I was looking up something on youtube and someone said it weirdly, or so I thought. But they were American, I'm English.

So, which do you use? Just curious.

alak-rity

ala-kritty

You say it how Webster's says to say it or you're wrong.

My favorite British reshuffling of syllable emphasis is in "advertisement".

American: ADvertisement

British: edVERtissment

Although, in retrospect we Americans are the ones doing the reshuffling.
