What does address mean two meanings?

Address means different but related things depending on how you say it. Ad-DRESS, with the accent on the second syllable, sounding like "a dress", is a verb meaning to speak to someone or a group of people, or more particularly to start speaking to someone or a group of people. It is also a noun meaning a speech (like the Gettysburg Address, a famous speech by Abraham Lincoln) or the way you start talking to people. AD-ress, with the accent on the first syllable, is a noun meaning the destination of a letter, and since the widespread use of home mail delivery and couriers, the physical location of a place for the purpose of finding it. Examples of ad-DRESS: "Address yourself to the supervisor", "How should I address that woman over there?", "I have prepared a short address for the occasion", "What is the proper form of address for a Duke?" Examples of AD-ress: "What is your mailing address?", "Come to my house. You know the address."
