minus-squareklu9@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up54arrow-down2·1 year agoPro-tip in case you’re unsure: “Mary” is pronounced “Mary”. “Merry” is pronounced “merry”. “Marry” is pronounced “marry”. You’re welcome.
minus-squareshnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·1 year ago Mary rhymes with fairy. Merry rhymes with berry. Marry rhymes with carry.

minus-squareZorcron@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-21 year agoIn my dialect, yes. Maybe this will help
