Dear Ann Landers,
ave you noticed how many people, including those in radio and TV, pronounce February as Feb-yooary? Walter Cronkite, no less, is one of the principal offenders. I will be mighty glad when these so-called experts on the English language get with it. I've written to Mr. Cronkite to protest such sloppy usage but, so far, no reply. How about your trying?
