You know how when you're in elementary school and your teacher tells you something and it is an automatic truth that you must live your life by? Well, at least that's how it was for me when I was a kid. For example, my 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Willis, told us that whenever we eat an apple we should wash it beforehand. And not just rinse it off. Because you know how there's that little sticker that you have to peel off? Well, water isn't gonna wash off the glue from that sticker, so you've gotta use some soap too! So, still to this day, I always wash my apple with soap, no matter the ridicule I get from my friends.
Well, another one of those things is that one of my teachers emphasized that the second month of the year is spelled F-e-b-r-u-a-r-y, not F-e-b-u-a-r-y, so we need to pronounce it as such. For some reason that hit me hard and since then I have always made sure that I pronounce both of the Rs in February.
Just try it. It almost makes the month seem not quite so gross.
