Can anyone explain why the "R" in February has disappeared? I'm sorry, but "Feb-YOU-ary" just doesn't cut it for me.

Please, someone find the "R" for me!
 
because that bloody "R" is a tricky little bugger to say just after the "B" and all
 
The people who say feb-u-ar-y are the sames ones who say nuc-u-lar.
 
My birthday is in this month, and I don't give a shit about the "R". And according to Webster, "Feb-YOU-ary" is an acceptable pronunciation. I'd say you've been Pwned!
 
Feb-yoo-ary is just a lot easier to say. God knows I say it all the time.

>>>Please, someone find the "R" for me!

FebuaRy.

Yes it should be Feb-ru-ary. The poor "R" is severely disrespected these days. People say "uh" or "ah" instead of "R". Like "yo" instead of "your", moth-uh and fath-uh, glass of wat-uh, ganst-uh, p-ah-k the c-ah. Then they say 'R' where it doesn't belong: pizz-er, coca-co-ler, umbrell-er. The English are especially bad about this. Where is Professor Higgins when we need him?

REQUIRED TEA spit warning for this post would have been nice.

or Liverty instead of Liberty, or invisible instead of indivisible.
 
People are so lazy.

But listen to how North Americans speak generally.

Henry Higgins would give up in despair.
 
I've never been able to pronounce that first 'r' either. Makes me sound like Elmer Fudd.

Then again, I have trouble with rs in any language.
 
The British have moved the "R" in February to the end of "idea".

They seem to think that's a good idear.
