February

Have I got it wrong all these years?

I'm sure that we used to pronounce it differently.

Yes I know how it's spelt, but didn't we back in the day pronounce it as FebUry, not I suppose too much of a difference but I need to know, all the adverts seem to pronounce it differently to how I was taught.

Am I wrong, have I spent years pronouncing February in ignorance without emphasis on the 'ruary' or are we just being used to show how clever advertisers are when they want us to change our language?

I suspect as with other adverts some smart arse wants us to think we've been wrong all this time.
