@siggy47, is this true?

I never noticed my relatives from your neck of the woods pronouncing these differently.

I pronounce those three words differently. I'm shocked that everyone doesn't. I'm from New York, so my way must be correct.

Mary rhymes with hairy.
Marry rhymes with carry.
Merry rhymes with berry.

However they pronounce it elsewhere is wrong. Dammit.

Those three words all rhyme with each other!

I know so many people from that area. It's blowing my mind that I can't hear the differences.

You're kidding, right? You genuinely believe all three words rhyme?

I can't even imagine them being pronounced differently.

I'll have to ask my mom when I see her later today.

This is astounding to me too.

Mary and merry are the same, marry is different

Is that the Amish?

My tax dollars went to fund this?

ahah, the merrycans...

Lol, I just say them all like 'MURRY' and call it a day. Who’s got time to make them distinct?

From the southeast. Definitely pronounce all the same. Haha.

Google Voice makes it sound like there's a difference between them.
