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? -February Freak
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , challenge and bring out the best in us. Here’s something that should get your readers thinking. I cut it out of a local newsletter. -Susan in Miami Dear Susan: Thanks for your kind words and the enclosure. I liked it a lot and want to share it with my readers. Here it is: You Can Bank on It Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440-with one condition: Whatever part of the $1,440 you had failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You’d draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.
