I’m from NY, and the thing that amused me when I lived in SF for a while was that they pronounce “ferry” and “fairy” the same! Such as, “I’m going to take the fairy to Marin...”

I can't see any other way to pronounce them.<---Texas

Pronounced the same way here — at least when I visit Puget Sound on the other side of the state where they have both ferries and fairies — often the latter riding the former.
