Ok. The online dictionaries that I checked have an interchangeable pronounciation for the word.

I think it is Fe-bu- ary. I think the incorrect one is FEB -U- ARY with a hard "B" in stead of the "bu" together. does that make sense?

This is the worst one I've ever heard.

I had a professor back in the day who was really ignorant and tried to feign intelligence by using "big" words. He always spoke to students in a condescending manner and acted superior. I kid you not, whenever he wanted someone to elaborate on an answer, he said "Please explicicate" and "Exlpicicate on that"! He said this at least three times per day. I can only assume he meant to say "explicate," and he could have just said "explain". Nothing makes someone sound dumber than desperately trying to sound smart. I swear I don't know where these people get Ph.Ds!
