uh tone' ment, with the accent on "tone"
Yes, the way I answered this question indicates how I view life, in that I think English should be spoken properly.

I pronounce it the first way, because that's the proper way to say it in the english language, but I occasionally use the second way as a nemonic device for remembering the definition of the word, because that is very much what it means.
best wishes
