A visual exploration of words that look the same, sound the same, or are otherwise easily confused. Updated weakly through 2016, now only occasionally. The book version "Homophones Visualized" is available wherever books are sold. Thanks for checking in!
The 'a' in "Marry" /ˈmæri/ is pronounced /æ/, whereas the 'a' in "Merry" /ˈmeri/ is pronounced /e/. They are two different vowel sounds. Thus, how could the words be homophones?
