Since it is my birthday month I have known how to spell and say it correctly since kindergarten. It has an R after the B and I say it with the R.

Spell it February. Pronounce it Febuary. It's hard to pronounce with that 1st R! -Kasey

Not sure if this is a joke. There are 2 R's. Neither are extra; they are both required.
I generally pronounce w/ 1st "R" silent, and that is most common usage, so that has become accepted/correct, but both pronunciations are correct.
I wonder what William Safire had to say on this topic?

Why would you suggest Febuary-it is not a word. We all learned it correctly in school. Then again our new president doesn't know when to use "too" and not "to".

I spell February with an "r." Never knew there might be an alternative spelling. I pronounce with an "r." To me pronouncing it without an "r" is like people saying "carmel" instead of caramel. It grates on my nerves! (I don't care how they pronounce it in the south.)

Yes, definitely an R after the B. It's supposed to be pronounced as it's spelled, although I'm lazy and say Feb-u-ary.

The correct spelling is February... always with the two "R's"... the pronunciation, on t'other hand is acceptable either way...
I tend to pronounce it Feb-roo-ary. People look at me askance. Not sure if the look is due to the pronunciation, or something else...

There is NO controversy here - it's FebRuary, just like it's libRary and nucLEAR and subsiDIARY. Unless you want to sound illiterate, pronounce ALL the letters.

Americans are some of the worst spellers. Many survive today because of spell checker.
That being said, I was in Macao saw Winston Churchill's uncle's head stone. I saw two mis-spellings. I know John Adams grandson was buried there and has similar bad spelling.

Super glad you asked this question since I've been noticing more and more people pronounce it differently than I do. I spell it with an "r" and pronounce the "r" as in Febru.ary. It's unreal how many people on T.V. say Febuary. That's not the way I learned it in school.
