* In ''[[Detective Conan]]'', Jodie Starling uses this as a form of [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]. Naturally, Hattori calls her out on it right off the bat.
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* In Damon Knight's science fiction story "You're Another," there's a man in the year 4000 or so whose native language is Esperanto (though not named). When he speaks English, he has a thick Esperanto accent, and stresses the penultimate syllable of every word, just as in Esperanto. (E.g., "Now you will give me d'in''stru''ment.")
* In [[Alan Dean Foster]]'s ''Glory Lane'', an alien in disguise on Earth is described as talking like this trope, stressing the wrong syllables and words, due to having learned English from a cheap crash course.
* Do not attempt to pronounce the surname of ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'' antagonist Jonathan Teatime the way it looks (the correct pronunciation is 'Teh-ah-tim-eh'); people getting it wrong irritates him. Surprisingly enough for a psychotic assassin, he just asks them to get it right.
* This is how Jaina Solo and Lando Calrissian realize that a robot is impersonating Lando and giving his droids orders in ''Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Vortex''.
