pronounce February

Recommended Posts

I just read that February is the only month that can be pronounced four different ways.

 

I came up with

 

Feb you airy

Feb roo airy and

Feb oo airy

 

I've heard all three of them used at one time or another, but I can't figure out what the fourth one is.

 

Thoughts?

I've actually heard it pronunced thusly, usually by people speaking English as a second language.

Whatever.  I’d just rather have it over with.

Agreed, but I do manage to get through part of it by whiling away a few hours doing the full season's reloading.  Time in the nice warm gun room makes the blowing snow and -20's seem a bit farther away...at least until I have to go out and shovel!

It's spelled February and it's pronounced Feb-roo-ary, just like it's spelled.

 

If it was pronounced feb-you-ary it would be spelled Febuary. 

 

Pretty straightforward, at least in the English language.

 

Sort of like nuclear-- not pronounced nucular.

Hey Bill,

 Those sweet little Texas girls can say it any way that suits them! :)
