Why is there an R in FebRurary??

Question

Just wondering.

Answer 1

February is how its spelt in calenders. duhhhh

Answer 2

to say it is February; otherwise it will be febuary.

why are the other letters are in February.

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with the way it is spelt. that is how it used to be said. so the spelling remains the same, only the way we SAY IT has changed.

Its like, the other day I saw a school teacher telling the class that it was a SILENT "H" in the word "When" ,,,what a idiot. but it is them people that change the way we talk

Answer 4

who knows?

And for those who don't get it I think it's because basically nobody (in California, USA anyway) pronounces the "R", we say it as Feburary, and for me, even more often as "Febuary" without the other r either.  Yeah probably has something to do with when it was originally created, used to get that spelling wrong A LOT even in Middle School, just like WeDnesday.. haha I don't say the D, so it's like "When's day" haha :-D

I like this question ;-D
