Since when did people start pronouncing it as "particuly"? It irks me.

I haven't heard it pronounced as "particuly".

Horrible.

Also, "febuary".

Very irksome indeed.

Listen out on television, it's out there.

I'm afraid it's been a long time as I've been shouting at the television and radio for years about this.

The weather presenters also have a problem with temperature which seems to turn into temp-a-chure [grr]
