[Magdalen] Mary, Marry, and Merry

[Grace Cangialosi]

I have found all of this very interesting, because it never occurred to me
that they would be pronounced differently from each other.  I pronounce all
three the same. When I've heard people pronounce them differently from
me, I just figured it was a regional difference; I never noticed that they
might be using different pronunciations depending on the spelling.
