The spelling of the word "Marris" can be confusing due to its irregular pronunciation. The correct pronunciation is \ˈmærɪs\, with an emphasis on the first syllable. The double "r" can be misleading, as it does not produce a rolled or trilled "r" sound. Instead, it is pronounced like a single "r". The vowel sound is a short "a" followed by the "i" sound, making it similar to the word "Paris". By using the IPA phonetic transcription, the correct spelling and pronunciation of "Marris" can be easily understood.
