Ferry rhymes with furry. Fairy rhymes with hairy.

No it doesn't. Seriously, you rich Americans need to club together and buy another vowel sound.

Ferry, Furry and Fairy are all distinct. As are Fiery, Fury and Fuckingincidentally.

I'm sure I've been here before ...maybe in a dream....? Where's SG, she's in charge of cellar dreams isn't she? I had this one before, I demand a refund.

Just curious--in what regional accents does ferry rhyme with furry?

Philadelphia. But we also rhyme water with wooder, or in South Philadelphia, wooduh.

Berry and bury are pronounced identically.
