So is it pendantic to be very annoyed when DD and others insist on pronouncing FEBRUARY incorrectly?

I am SICK and TIRED of saying

"Feb - rooo - erry. NOT Feb-yery."

If DD does it again - and I swear she is now doing it deliberately to wind me up - I am going to have to disown her.

i say wedd'ns-day. same reason I say feb-roo-ary. It's all down to Miss Creek, a terrifying, harsh, posh teacher at my primary school, who used to tell us off for having Yorkshire accents (this was in Leeds).

All this reminds me. The other night I watched that channel 4 show "1983: edge of apocalypse" - something like that. Anyway, the woman doing the voiceover kept pronouncing nuclear as new-killer rather than new-clear. I almost wrote a letter (as you do). It did my brain in. Very distracting in a show about the threat of nuclear war. ho hum. back to shed.

UQD, I saw at the end that it was Gina McKee, whose work I've always quite admired. I felt a little disappointed. I did wonder if they just didn't dare to tell her to re-record bits - cos she's a "movie star". And no, we aren't changing the title
