[Opinions] This site?

I pronounce Mary like words merry or marry, just with a different stress. And I write it down like ME-ree. And the pronunciation for Mary on this site is 'MER-ee', so I don't see the problem.

I'm not a native English speaker, but that's how I've always heard it pronounced on TV and real life by both the Brits and the Americans.

Where are you from and how do you pronounce the 'marry-' part in the names mentioned?
