Mer-ree? Like Murry? Who pronounces merry like Murry? lol I'm having a murry good time. Sorry, but no. And you called others inbred morons?

How do you get murry out of that?

 

[KingofGourds]

UK dude and I took this for fun.

In order I got Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Providence and Yonkers.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

I'm sure all your air-heads think "could of" and "could've" sound exactly the same as well.

Nope, could of is idiotic.

 

[Arkos]

I'm sure all your air-heads think "could of" and "could've" sound exactly the same as well.

Ha they should of included something like that on the quiz

 

[I'm an expert]

:raises hand:

Arrow : Air-row, Error : Air-roar

Wrong. Wrong.

Mer : Mermaid : Mur-maid

Merry : Murry

That's how I'd see it.

I'm from the Providence area and whenever I play a game online with people not familiar with a New England accent I always get asked "Are you British?" Which I find kind of funny.

 

[ZZMitch]

Wrong. Wrong.

I mean you are an expert and all.

I will not change my wayyyyyysssss!

 

[Enduin]

Mer-ree like Very. Murry is like Mermaid though, that shits all fucked up.

I appreciate your honesty. Let's put arrow aside, I can see how someone could argue that. But error? Starting like air?

And Enduin is correct, merry rhymes with very. Unless there people who say very like vary. If so fuck it this is hopeless.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Mer-ree like Very. Murry is like Mermaid though, that shits all fucked up.

But very sound like marry, mary, and marry but with a v.

How can you guys argue over pronounciation with just text when you say vowels consistently different?

 

[GrandHarrier]

It's the internet.

That's how internet works.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Nailed me for Ft Lauderdale. Probably sunshower that did me in.

 

[NoTacos]

Now this is interesting. I'm from the west coast but the quiz says I'm most likely from the south, however I have close relatives from that area whom I've learned certain terms from, so in a way it's right.

 

[Kagari]

Mine was right on. I grew up in Michigan and it nailed it.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Because it's fun arguing over something so dumb that none of us will ever agree on.

 

[Arkos]

Mer : Mermaid : Mur-maid

Merry : Murry

That's how I'd see it.

I think of it like the French pronunciation in this case. So, "mare"

 

[Blearth]

Needs better distinction between Nor Cal and So Cal. No matter how many times I take it, it says I am from the Bay Area.

Would you say you've taken it hella times?

 

[I'm an expert]

Because it's fun arguing over something so dumb that none of us will ever agree on.

Basically. Why do people give relationship advice to strangers on the internet? Same thing.

 

[Aylinato]

Detroit and Chicago. Got me perfectly.

 

[Red]

Does this not work in Chrome? I get no results.

 

[Enduin]

But very sound like marry, mary, and marry but with a v.

What. No that's vary. Like "Pronunciations tend to vary except for words like Merry and Marry. Many people can be very Merry while the ways to Marry tend to vary."

 

[FyreWulff]

I guess sometimes people say it with freedom

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

What. No that's vary. Like "Pronunciations tend to vary except for words like Merry and Marry. Many people can be very Merry while the ways to Marry tend to vary."

Yeah, vary sounds just like the rest.

 

[I'm an expert]

No..that's vary..what the fuck

Yeah, vary sounds just like the rest.

Don't ruin our fun.

I'm going to My Fair Lady the shit out these people one way or another.

 

[toohectic]

Lazy (pronounced like Lassie and Lossy)

Ok, now those sound different to me... quite distinguishable.

Lazy: Lay-zee
Lassie: Lah-see (maybe just la-see. Don't really know how to write this one.)
Lossy: Law-see

 

[Rei no Otaku]

I just wonder how you guys can communicate when apparently every word sounds the same.

 

[I'm an expert]

I just wonder how you guys can communicate when apparently every word sounds the same.

Through text.

Context

Context is key.

 

[reKon]

came for the soda vs pop question, left satisfied

 

[Grover Cleveland]

On second try,

New York
Yonkers
Jacksonville FL

Darkest area was in NE Arkansas,that's closer I guess

 

[Rei no Otaku]

Apparently.

Context

Context is key.

I guess so, but it's nice when different words sound differently lol.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Would you say you've taken it hella times?

Get out of here with that trash, you sub-human.





I once was stuck on a UCLA bus next to two girls from nor cal who I swear used hella as 1/3-1/4 of the words in their conversation. Literally sentences like "It was hella." One of the most excruciating moments in my life.

 

[Bread]

some of you people pronounce strawberry as strawbarry? weird

 

[ajpw]

I got Jersey, Yonkers, New York.

I ain't American.

/fellowlinguistfist

 

[Kibbles]

It knew I was from Rhode Island which isn't surprising. It really only takes like two questions to figure that out.

"What do you call something you drink water from?" and "Do you pronounce Mary, merry, and marry differently?"

I think we're the only place that calls it a bubbler and thinks that all three of those words sound completely different.

I call it a bubbler here on Wisconsin. I pronounce those all the same though.

 

[MIMIC]

came for the soda vs pop question, left satisfied

Some people got a pop/soda question?

Not me

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

How else would you pronounce it? Straw-bar-ree? Straw-burr-ree? It's straw-bare-ree.

Lossy: Law-see

it was a joke

 

[FO-totality]

Nailed our hometown/area for everyone in my family, expect for my younger brother, lol.

 

[I'm an expert]

How else would you pronounce it? Straw-bar-ree? Straw-burr-ree? It's straw-bare-ree.

Just give it up man, lol. It's like the vowel e doesn't exist for you.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

How else would you pronounce it? Straw-bar-ree? Straw-burr-ree? It's straw-bare-ree.

Straa-beer-ee.

Spoiler

if you have a speech impediment

 

[Rei no Otaku]

How else would you pronounce it? Straw-bar-ree? Straw-burr-ree? It's straw-bare-ree.

They're two completely different vowels! Do you pronounce bet and bat the same?

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Just give it up man, lol.

I think I will. I really have shit I need to get done. lol

They're two completely different vowels... Do you pronounce bet and bat the same?

Of course not.

 

[Bread]

How else would you pronounce it? Straw-bar-ree? Straw-burr-ree? It's straw-bare-ree.
