Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes: shrubbery (/ˈʃrʌbəri/) and blubbery (/ˈblʌbəri/) share the stressed /ʌ/ and the /bəri/ ending with rubbery. Lookalikes that sound different: berry (/ˈberi/) has a different vowel and no /b/ after the vowel; rubber (/ˈrʌbər/) matches the first part but lacks the final /i/; robbery (/ˈrɒbəri/, US /ˈrɑːbəri/) changes the stressed vowel. The letters -bbery in rubbery can mislead you: do not pronounce it like berry.
