This month is of significance to me as, on the debit side, my Father and Mother died during it and, on the credit side, my Sister, Granny J, of Blog fame was born on 1/Feb/way back when. and of course, there's Mardi Gras.
The month was named "after the Latin term februum, which means purification.." You will note note that it probably was pronounced feb-ru-um. If one believes the letters in the spelling of the month as it stands. any one with half an ounce/gram of smarts should say feb-RU-ary. The caps merely were to indicate the presence of an R in the word.
Guess what, smarts are in short supply, very short supply, consequently, one hears feb-U-ary (where's the bloody R) and here in OZ even worse, feb-ree (no RU and no AIR!!!). Now, it's not just a street pronunciation, one hears it also on radio and tv. along with the occasional vunerable, yecht!
As usual, I'm one of the select few to say the word proper-like--such a burden, sigh.
Luckily enough, tomorrow is 1/March and it's pretty hard to stuff-up pronouncing it To start the month off with a bang, spouse, self and others will be participating in 'Clean Up Australia Day', where in we collect assorted trash (inanimate type) and surprise ourselves when the streets and verges are trashless (albeit temporarily).
