Will someone please cut this discussion of the Mary,merry,marry 
pronunciation off before it takes over sci.lang like it did a few months 
ago.  We went for a long period as if English were the only language in 
the world.   The arguments were exhausted then, ad nauseam.  If some 
people choose to rehash this why not do it in the English usage discussion 
group, not here.  I believe most of us are more interested in languages 
(that's plural!).
