I thought you guys just used "Purrrrmit" instead. :-)

Just reminded me - Naomi - there's a whole load that are similarly a noun or a verb, depending on the stress on the word, e.g.

PER-mit (a licence), per-MIT (to allow)
PRO-ject (what geeks work on), pro-JECT (cast, throw, as project a picture on a wall)
