February: Plea for Slight Name Change

February is one of the most annoying months to say out loud.  It is also kind of a freak month (having the fewest days).  Here are some things i don't get/like about Febraury as it currently stands.

* Why does it only have 28 (or 29 days)?  There are 7 months with 31 days, couldn't 2 of them be downgraded to 30 days?  It would make more sense (at least to me). 
* i am not a big fan of leap year either.  Apparently that occurs because the Earth's revolution takes about 365 days and 6 hours (wikipedia.org).  i would rather be "off" by a couple of days that remember that most 4 year periods will have a leap year.  The calendar is not exactly infallable anyway. 

February is a stupid month name.  i propose eliminating the first "R".  Most people don't pronounce it anyway.  Lets anglicize the month name a little more.
