pronunciation of words in English If the words illustrating two symbols sound the same to you (say, if you pronounce cot and caught the same, or do and dew , or marry and merry ), you can ignore the difference between those symbols. Footnotes explain some of these mergers. (See also #Dialect variation below.)
