And I still don't know how to pronounce it.

Subtle
/'s?dl/

adjective

(especially of a change or distinction) so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyze or describe.

When I look up how to pronounce it, I'm hearing

sed tle
sud tle
sut tle

So how do you pronounce it and what is the correct way?

All I know is that b is fricked up.

just ignore it? Do you say febRUary or WEDnes-day? Some letters you just skip over like they aren't even there. B in subtle is one of them.

Wait, have you been pronouncing it with a b? Because for all intensive purposes, that is not how it is pronounced.
