While "Feb-RU-ary" is still considered the standard pronunciation, most dictionaries recognize the pronunciation of February without the first "r" ("Feb-U-ary") as an acceptable variant.

 

 

 

thank you for respecting my acceptable variance.

Correct information is free, so you don't have to buy it.

 

My favorite band is Dar Williams, and she pronounces it the same way I do.
