Re: Merry
in reply to a message by Billina
Worse, because
1. It sounds exactly like Mary in most American accents.
2. It will need to be spelled all the time and still will get construed as Mary.
3. If you know it's Merry, as in Christmas, it's sickly cute.
4. It's trying too hard to be Mary and not be Mary at the same time, accomplishing nothing.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
