Viewers search for specific Steinbrenner quotes and George lines across episodes, with debate over the correct pronunciation of "February" and discussion of various memorable Steinbrenner rants.
What episode is it when Steinbrenner says to George - "It is FebUary or FebRUary. I prefer FebUary and what is this RU?" I have been search through my archives and havent found it.
Also, what episode is it when Elaine is talking about a particular woman, she says something and George says "Well, I guess that leaves me in the clear"
Thanks, Steve C

I don't know which episode (Dave?), but the correct pronunciation of "February" is, in fact, pretty well as spelled: 'FEB-ru-air-ee' -- definitely _not_ 'FEB-yoooo-air-ee', though the latter is now used almost exclusively in the U.S. and Canada. Even by the late 50's, Webster's indicated pronunciation as "feb'roo-er'i; _now often, by dissimilation,_ feb'yoo-er'i".
As Vivien Leigh once told Garson Kanin when they had an argument about pronunciation of a work by Somerset Maugham and Kanin protested "this is how we pronounce it in America", she slapped him down with an abrupt, "In America you pronounce it _incorrectly_, darling".
CPJ.
Unfortuanely, I have never gotten around to cataloging the Steinbrenner rants. He's got the 'February/Febuary' bit, the 'Turkey chili in a bread bowl' bit, the 'Lou Gehrig's uniform/twitching and flopping' bit, the 'Cupcake icing/dessert dessert' bit, the 'George is a Communist' bit, the 'Constanza's dead' bit, the 'Get better George!' bit, there's just too many.
It all depends on how you wish to be seen by the people who hear you pronounce the word.
By way of comparison Jerry pronounces it without the R. Frasier probably includes the R.
I would have let her taste the back of my hand for a comment like that. :)
Everybody knows Americans don't give a crap how the rest of the world does things.
