CrossCuT Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Do some of y'all seriously call a roundabout a traffic circle? Ive seen them called strange things too but Im used to calling them roundabouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestertonian Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 For the record, it's "cray-awn" not "cran" or "cray-ahn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How? I know "Merry" is sometimes pronounced "murry", but how do you pronounce "Mary" and "marry" differently? Most people in America pronounce all three words like "Mary". That's not how you say "merry". And Mary and marry are completely different! Mary is pronounced like mare with a 'y' sound at the end. Marry has the same 'a' sound as 'sad' Merry has an 'eh' sound at the vowel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I appreciate y'all because English no longer being able to distinguish between second person plural and singular is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary is pronounced like mare with a 'y' sound at the end. Marry has the same 'a' sound as 'sad' Merry has an 'eh' sound at the vowel Not in America, they're not. "Mary" and "Marry" are pronounced the same exact way, with the "Mare" noise. Edited June 5, 2013 by FuturePriest387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
