Feb-Roo-ary, if you please. I must have been an oyster in a previous life, as I tend to the view that all mensual consonants should be respected.
Besides, people who sneak that extra one out of February are in danger of inserting it into "drawing", which is the last great shibboleth. I got a fair bit of work in audiobooks because I didn't have an intrusive letter. I even have a poem about it, which heaven forfend I should post here...
