I pronounce "bury" and "berry" the same, except when "bury" is at the end of a place name. Then it rhymes with "worry".
"Merry" rhymes with "berry" and "bury".
"Mary" rhymes with "wary".
"Marry" rhymes with "carry".

The problem with reading the printed words is that people who pronounce "carry" as "carey" won't get it.

Similarly, the lyrics to George & Ira Gershwin's song, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, can be extremely confusing for those who have never heard the song sung as it was originally intended to be sung:
You say "either" and I say "either" You say "neither" I say "neither" "Either" "either", "neither" "neither" Let's call the whole thing off...
They probably won't do nothing about your car no proof that's what caused it, but they may site this girl.

A "journalist" treated us to the following sentence in an article regarding a school principal:
xxxxx is a veteran educator who has lead xxxxxxxxx Elementary School for 18 months.
This same "journalist" has demonstrated an inability to distinguish between "led" and "lead" in previous articles, and I have communicated with her regarding those mistakes. I guess that some people are just slow learners.

Yep, that's one of the symptoms, all right. Just to be on the safe side, I'd avoid all contact. The stuff shouldn't be contagious, but maybe it hasn't read the memo either, hm?
