feb-roo-airy

Fe brew ary     (accent on second syllable)

Feb-u-ary

(I know it's wrong but I let that one slide)

Feb - you - airy.

I hate that silent R. I pretend it isnt there.

Same.

Feb-you-airy and Feb-roo-airy

I really couldn't tell you what determines when or why I pronounce it either way. I grew up all over the place and my word usage and pronunciation isn't easily tracked by region sometimes.

People say Febber-wary??! UGHHHHH! GROSS.

I've actually pronounced it both ways. Ha ha ha.

 ya like that

Feb-u-ray

Feb-yuri (like Uri Gellar, the spoon-bender man!)

I usually say Feb-you-airy, but I try to say Feb-ru-ary since that's how it's spelled.

and when i'm pronouncing it slow and obnoxious (trying to make sure I pronounce the 'R' in there clearly), i say FEB-ROO-RARY.

Where I grew up, everyone says "Feb you wary" do I did too. Looking at how the word is spelled, I know that's not correct, but I have trouble making myself say it any other way without making myself sound like an idiot, so now its one of those words I try to avoid.
