Isn't there some rule like most people pronounce two of { marry, merry, Mary } the same, but which two depends on your accent?

this is a complex question

words don't just have 1 pronunciation: the word before and the word after also change how a word is pronounced (in most languages).

that's not even considering dialects, accents, etc.

practically speaking, these words are homonyms. it doesnt matter if you pronounce them differently: you COULD pronounce it another way and people wouldnt think you pronounced it weird at all

I know that it's hard to hear, but you've been wrong this whole time. That's because there's literally no difference in how they're pronounced, making the distinction difficult to hear.

Some people definitely pronounce Fairy Godmother and Ferry Boat differently. Some people pronounce pin and pen the same. It's called an accent.

I'm aware of that and was leaning into the "hard to hear" wordplay.

I would avoid wordplay, but what would be the pun in that?

Oh god, if my normal way is wrong then I dont want to be right. Pronouncing those words the same way is madness.

We have a dictionary and very exacting IPA phonetic spelling for words.

Your accent is wrong. Take the time to enunciate.
