minus-squareklu9@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up53arrow-down2·19 days agoPro-tip in case you’re unsure: “Mary” is pronounced “Mary”. “Merry” is pronounced “merry”. “Marry” is pronounced “marry”. You’re welcome.
minus-squareshnizmuffinAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·18 days ago Mary rhymes with fairy. Merry rhymes with berry. Marry rhymes with carry.
