The spelling of the word "mcmurtrey" can be a bit confusing. The word is pronounced as /məkˈmɜrtri/ and is spelled with a capital M followed by a lowercase c, and then the rest of the letters in uppercase. The letter 'r' is pronounced twice, which is indicated by the 'rr' in the spelling. The 'ey' at the end of the word indicates that the sound should be pronounced as "tree." While the spelling may seem tricky at first glance, with the help of phonetic transcription, pronouncing it correctly is easy.
