Unfortunately, "hurry" is pronounced differently in British and US English [1], so again I was a little bit confused :-).
The US sample is correct for someone from California, but it's not the way a person from New York City would pronounce it (closer to the UK pronunciation). I grew up near San Francisco, where "marry," "merry" and "Mary" all sound the same, as do "our" and "are." -Steve
