- oasisbob 9mo agoThat is fun. Not sure if it's an American pronunciation thing, but I had to stare at that long and hard to see the problem and even after seeing it couldn't think of how you could possibly spell the correct word otherwise.
- bsder 9mo ago> Not sure if it's an American pronunciation thing It's a bad American pronunciation thing like "Febuwary" and "nuculer". If you pronounce the syllables correctly, "an-ec-dote", "Feb-ru-ar-y", "nu-cle-ar" the spellings follow. English has it's fair share of spelling stupidities, but if people don't even pronounce the words correctly there is no hope.
- lynguist 9mo agohttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/February https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/February The pronunciation of the first r with a y sound has always been one of two possible standards, in fact "February" is a re-Latinizing spelling but English doesn’t like the br-r sound so it naturally dissimilates to by-r.
