Place names ~ Pronunciation, Accents, and problems

[ScouseBoy]

As a Scot I have got used to the English pronounciation of the word LOCH as LOCK. 
It is understandable that they just can't produce the correct CH sound.
But I can't understand why they tend to miss the second R from LIBRARY and the first R from FEBRUARY.
Can anyone explain it?

    It needs to be acknowledged that  the residents of some Scottish towns and cities have excellent diction  and excellent pronunciation.    Inverness, some people say,  has an excellent record  on clarity and diction.

A few districts on Merseyside:
Aigburth.......pronounced Egbuth
Gateacre........Gataka
Meols.......Melz

I love to hear the different accents around the UK....of course, some are easier on the ear than others.

Some southerners get Maghull wrong, have you noticed?   They say it as two words  Mag  Hull.   Instead of  Ma gull.

OOOer! I started something didn`t I?
I was drawing attention to the missing out of the x in sixth and the second f in fifth which I`ve only heard southerners do.

I agree that February nowadays has lost its second R  and also Wednesday has become Wensdy, it used to be Wed-n-sday and I suppose before that Wed nes day.
Language is a living changing   thing and  the different accents add colour but some seem more pleasing than others don`t they. Rural accents seem more attractive.

Up here ---- people generally say book, cook, look etc with a long o sound and it is considered "posh" to say them with a short o but the long o is how it used to be hundreds of years ago so who is correct? Personally -as long as the grammar is correct I say " vive la difference".
  To get back to the original topic--Holcombe is locally pronounced as Hokum.               Viktoria.

Not only southerners! Most people who don't live in the area mispronounce it until corrected. I live in Maghull, so I know!
