I was taught that the "r" in February should be enunciated. And so I did. Just as I'd been taught that the first "r" in library should be enunciated.

What's interesting is, in contrast to small children, nearly every adult I hear does enunciate that library "r," but rare is the one who enunciates the "February" one. We appear to remain children in our lip laziness associated with the second month. Wonder why?
