This was a recent question on the Net; correct usage and pronunciation
are not trivial, and it is not unreasonable to devote a modicum of
attention to these matters. I think that by analogy with _informer_,
_conformer_ should be given given the accent on the second syllable;
INformer is simply wrong.  On a not unrelated matter: "principle axes"
should be _principal axes_.
