I know because even the first time I thought, "But it's barbiturate", not "barbituate". Sort of like "library", not "libary".

I posted it. On Wotmania.


The commonly accepted pronunciation is "barbituate" regardless of the spelling. Just like "Febuary" vs. "February" or "sherbert" vs "sherbet." But "libary" is not commonly accepted, with perhaps some regional exceptions.

Still an appropriately awful pun though, so I was glad to see it again

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
