I think the pronunciation of library as lie berry is common enough that it just seems like a douche move to correct somebody on it. :/ I'm guessing why some people don't use the correct pronunciation is because some people find it difficult to pronounce the "brar" part. Going from the br sound to the r is slightly awkward and I actually feel like my mouth went through an obstacle course just to pronounce it correctly.

Also, just saying, it seems like homogeneous is said two ways, mostly depending on what subject it's used in, lol.

I feel like the mispronunciation of 'February' as "Febuary" is much more admissible, especially since it's analogous with 'January'.

I just tend hear 'library' only mispronounced by small children, and the irony of mispronouncing that world also bugs me.

Back to the point though, one has to be considerate for those who speak English as a 2nd language (and we can't just go around assuming that everyone was born and raised learning English as their first). I mean for some, pronouncing the "br" in library might be tough because the "br" sound might not be native in their original language.
