- 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!).
