Furry and curry

I pronounce these two words to rhyme with each other. Are there people that don't?

There are millions of them & I'm one.

[k^ri(:)]
[fe:ri(:)]

"Furry" should be pronounced differently than "curry" because "furry" is an adjective and "curry" is a noun. There is such word as "fur" (hence the pronounciation of "furry") but there is no word "cur".

"Cur" is a word, but it has nothing to do wth the etymology of "curry". Also, "curry" can be a verb as well as a noun. Either way, vowell sounds do not necessarily vary between nouns and verbs. By that logic "run" wouldn't rhyme with "fun", nor "eat" with "meat". In any case, I pronounce the vowel sounds in "furry" and "curry" slightly differently, but probably not enough that anyone would notice.

''Furry'' and ''curry'' do rhyme. How can't they. They do rhyme. The difference is ''k'' sound versus ''f'' sound.

I pronounce 'furry' with a distinctly longer vowel sound, and 'curry' with a very short one. In fact, on closer inspection I even pronounce the 'y' at the end of 'curry' differently too.

What accent do you speak with, Steve?

I have an American accent.

I'm an American and I rhyme them too.
