Holiday Word Jumble

Recently one of my co-workers reminded me how difficult English spelling can be...


This is a "holly berry" /ˈhɑli ˈbɛri/
A traditional decoration during Christmas time.

Which is not to be confused with:






Halle Berry /ˈhæli ˈbɛri/
 An American actress.




and neither of these things is very holy /ˈhəʊli/
