FYI, Regworthy, since I'm such a languages and accents freak, I can't resist commenting that it's only Midwestern and Western Americans (generally) who pronounce "marry", "merry", and "Mary" virtually indistinguishably. For contrast, listen to a native New Yorker, say, from Elmhurst, Queens (my dad's hometown), Long Island (where we lived for awhile when I was a kid), or da Bronx (home of the New York Yankees-- go, Bombers!!), and you will soitanly hear a difference amongst the three woids. There are lots of New Yorkers in movies and TV. In the above-mentioned locales, for three examples, the "a" in "marry" normally sounds nothing like the one in "Mary", but like the "a" in "at"-- often pretty broadly so. As in the old '40s movie title, "I Maahrried a Witch". There are, of course, other Eastern accents. Have fun with Boston's! Then there are the various possible very unmerry and definitely non-Mary Southern versions, quite distinct from (Mid)Western ones, as in "I Mah'ied a Witch". Cackle. ;-)

Thanks, dear Piet, but I'll take a rain-check on the liquor. I'm not feeling too well at the mo. Extended-family worries are getting me down, and now I'm having my doubts about this "tour". Think I'll either jump off a roof or go back to bed for awhile. See yez whenever, everybody!
