super-charolastra commented on the word febuary
This is by far the most common American pronunciation for this word. Spell it February, but don't expect not to be thought of as pretentious if you pronounce that first R.

nycanthro commented on the word febuary
I place my American tongue in the R position, but at the speed of sound it rarely if ever comes out more intelligibly than Feb-oo-erry. I've given in. Excetera is next. Like hypothermia, it's a lot more pleasurable if you just let yourself go limp with acceptance. The numb comfort of knowing that March is just around the corner. Although, even March is not without its ides, so beware.

reesetee commented on the word febuary
Actually, I do pronounce the first R, and so far no one seems to have had a problem with it. Nor do I care if they do. :-)

The battle's not lost if people (like me) are still fighting it.

yarb commented on the word febuary
Don McLean also pronounced the 'r', and if it was good enough for "American Pie" it ought to be good enough for you.

dontcry commented on the word febuary
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. But I always would have to agree that it should be.

yarb commented on the word febuary
Update! I've just listened to "American Pie" and am shocked to find that McLean not only ignores the 'r' sound, but pronounces the 'u' as 'ju', to give "Feb-you-erry".
A disconcerting realization to say the least!

Next time Don McLean is playing disconcerts in my area, I won't invite yarb.

dontcry commented on the word febuary
Little known fact: Don McLean's real name is actually "Don McLearn" -- he just doesn't pronounce the "r."

Actually, he was forced to change his surname as
Hamburger University
has "McLearn" copyrighted and threatened to sue.*ponders adding "Hamburgerology" to his list*

I don't know about anyone else, but I think Nycanthro's fitting right in here. Welcome to the insane asylum.

yarb commented on the word febuary
I can't thank nycanthro enough for introducing me to Hamburger University!
I want to go there.

Yes!! A 30 Rock fan!! Has HULU been worded yet? This is fun.

pterodactyl commented on the word febuary
I have to agree with Nycanthro. I try to pronounce the first R every time, but you can barely hear it -- the B and the U tend to crowd it out.
Most people I know say "Feb-yoo-erry".

bilby commented on the word febuary
You only have a few hours left to say it, hurry, hurry!

Not to be confused with the very different Hamburger Universität für Wirtschaft und Politik (Hamburg University of Economics and Politics), which is now part of the University of Hamburg.

*snort!* (just saw that, reesetee...)
My family often pronounces it "Feb-yary." Just to be goofy.
