I actually had a similar discussion with a friend recently about 'fairy'
and 'ferry'. This was particularly disconcerting because:

a) I couldn't notice a difference when he pronounced them or played a
   sound file of someone else doing so.
b) He claimed I pronounced them differently despite not being aware of any
   difference.

Damned association cortex.
