Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending with -ery share the same suffix pronounced /ər.i/ but their stressed vowels differ. Robbery and mockery rhyme (e.g., /ˈrɒk.ər.i/ and /ˈmɒk.ər.i/ with the same stressed vowel), while bribery, thievery, trickery, and surgery have distinct stressed vowels. Beware of lookalikes like 'battery' or 'celery' which are pronounced differently.
