Dear February
I’m pretty sure the same guy who came up with the spelling of Wednesday was responsible for February too. Doesn’t the whole idea of a silent letter seem oxymoronic? Or maybe just plain moronic.
Then there are those words that seem to need letters that just aren’t there. Segue needs a w. And an ay. Cough needs an f. Colonel definitely needs an r.
Don’t even get me started on Duke’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. How can anyone possibly pronounce a word that begins with krzyz? Obviously, by ignoring all the letters entirely. (For non-sports fans, it’s pronounced Shə-SHEF-ski.) Then there’s bologna, hors d’oeuvres, receipt, jeopardy, gauge, etc.
That’s all for today. Other than this:

I was quite puzzled when I first saw your post. Where I live (eastern PA) we pronounce February the way it is spelled: FEB-ru-ary. To pronounce it “FEB-yoo-ary” sounds to me, well, funny. I would not let Colonel have that “r” even if it needs one.
And why is why is business spelled the way it is? I think it’s missing an extra i. 😀
(I didn’t mean to type in why is twice.)
Thank you, thank you! I’ve been looking for another desktop background – and this is perfect! 🙂
