list. For a table listing all spellings of the sounds on this page, see <a href="/wiki/English_orthography#Sound-to-spelling_correspondences" title="English orthography">English orthography § Sound-to-spelling correspondences</a>. For help converting spelling to pronunciation, see <a href="/wiki/English_orthography#Spelling-to-sound_correspondences" title="English orthography">English orthography § Spelling-to-sound correspondences</a>. </p><p>The words given as examples for two different symbols may sound the same to you. For example, you may pronounce <a href="/wiki/Cot%E2%80%93caught_merger" title="Cot–caught merger"><i>cot</i> and <i>caught</i> the same</a>, <i>do</i> and <i>dew</i>, or <i>marry</i> and <i>merry</i>. This often happens because of dialect variation (see our articles <a href="/wiki/English_phonology" title="English phonology">English phonology</a> and <a href="/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chart_for_English_dialects" class="mw-redirect" title="International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects">International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects</a>).
