    I always hated how most people don’t pronounce the first R in “February”. It just sounded kinda weird to me.

      I propose we replace the word entirely to something easier to spell and pronounce, such as “Feby”.

        If you’re going to fix the calendar, we should move SEPTember to position 7, OCTober to 8, NOvember to 9, and DECember to 10 where they belong (or just rename them all to be number-based instead of an arbitrary mish-mash of numbers, people (Julius, Augustus, etc.), and so on).

      Now you have me paying attention to how I pronounce it. And now either way feels weird. Thanks a lot.
