How do you pronounce February?

My office got into an argument on the proper way to say February. Half of us, myself included, pronounce the first 'r' the other half say that's wrong and the first 'r' is dropped. I know both ways are acceptable. How do you say it?

i pronounce the first r - that’s why it’s there. same thing with library. people say “libary”. there are no silent r’s in english that i can think of. if an r is silent it’s because the proper pronunciation of the word has been neglected, and perhaps learned and passed on improperly.
