They don't even call it Feb-roo-ary when they teach the months to schoolchildren
i don't think any of my english teachers ever said that the first r is silent but i'm not sure if we ever explicitly learned the english names of months

It looks like technically everyone is right ITT, although TC represents the more modern, acceptable pronunciation, even supported by Merriam-Webster.

Ive honestly never heard a single person pronounce it with the first R, and according to that article, it started being dropped 150 years ago, so this isnt some new thing being pushed by hipsters or something.
