Thread Name: Mairi's Wedding-how to pronounce Mairi
Subject: RE: Mairi's Wedding-how to pronounce Mairi
1. Forget about the posting of the Scots Bransle. Technical problems.
2. Thanks, guest, but the trouble with the word 'marry' is that some people pronounce it to rhyme with 'starry' and some people pronounce it to rhyme with 'Barry.' I've seen more than one reference to it in books about English.
However, I believe your cousin's pronunciation is what others have suggested here, so I'm happy to hear that we will be all up to date and correct at the Harp Tent.
