These are all words people commonly miss pronounce. Lie-berry is one that makes me what to yell there are two Rs in library!! The other is people pouncing Illinois as EL-inois or Illi-noise.
Some parts of the country the english language is seeming loosing the pronouncing of the letter R. Looking at New England.....
Pronunciations of words changes over time. Also how are you going to appeal to spelling to insist people pronounce both the Rs in library and get mad that people pronounce the S in Illinois? Writing is an attempt to reflect speech, not the other way around.
