Pedantry corner
accent noun ˈaks(ə)nt,-sɛnt/
1. a distinctive way of pronouncing a language, especially one associated with a particular country, area, or social class
ascent noun əˈsɛnt
1. a climb or walk to the summit of a mountain or hill.
While similiar in spelling these two words are pronounced differently and have quite different meanings.
edit : I'm seeing this a lot, not just in one of the previous posts.

Was there ever a decision on having "lead" or "led" a climb?
My daughter would say leaded.

I edited the spelling in my post. I don't think it is pedantry. I appreciate you pointing it out.

led is the past tense of the irregular verb lead: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/irregular-verbs/lead.html
You don't say misleaded do you?

But you do say "needed" and "kneaded".
3 year olds aren't good with irregulars.
Can you Mislead a climb?
