[Apparently], it's fine to say February as "Febuary" and surprise as "suprise," but when you say library as "libary," you're [apparently] an idiot!?!?! The process of dropping one of the rs in all three of these words is called dissimilation. I guess having two r sounds in one word is weird, so we sometimes change it. It's kinda like how Spanish speakers call a tree an "árbol" even though it's from the Latin word "arborem." Even the [pretentious], judgy assholes at the Real Academia Española regard árbol as correct. Why are "febuary," "suprise," and "árbol" okay but "libary" isn't?
