> /ˈwɪəɹi/ > /wɛəɹ.i/ I'm not a native English speaker and I would never have guessed that they were not pronounced the same. (I'm still not even sure how it is pronounced as ɪ doesn't seem to exist in French and I always considered the examples I find were just "i"). I know English pronunciation is generally weird, but seriously how can you expect wary to sound like wear while weary sounds like something else?

"wear" is the word that's doing things wrong here. Would "geary" and "gary" avoid the same mistake? > seriously how can you expect I can also question how you would expect two words that differ by their vowel to sound the same.
