I'd say it's pretty widespread; I live in southeast Pennsylvania, and know lots of people who say "Valentime's."

Good Lord, are you serious?! Listen, I mean no offense whatsoever when I ask this, but could this be a function of where you live? It would really be disturbing to think that is a widespread phenomenon, and the comments are making me worry more.
never ehard of people saying it that way either...actually only ever heard it said properly...so I'd just say obviously there's a problem with the area you live with braincells going missing perhaps.
There is no other explanation.
Or the mroe realistic explanation....you have an inner ear problem and keep hearing it that way. That is probably why people give you weird looks when you tell them off.

I've never heard it until today but people must be quoting Homestar Runner - Teen Girl Squad is popular with a bunch of people I know.
Last night my wife told me of the woman at the gym who asked which one of the "hampsters" she should put her used towel into...
I've never heard anyone say Valentimes day.
Ewww... sorry, but laundry and rodents should be kept far apart from each other. Unless it's a Disney movie and they're cleaning up your New York apartment.
I have to admit, there's another windmill I tilt at — the pronunciation of Lancaster. People who are actually from Lancaster, PA pronounce it LANK-uh-ster. People from Philly pronounce it LANNNNNNN-kas-ter. Drives me up the wall.
I've heard Valentime's Day several times and I'm in California, pretty far from Trekker. It's just like the "libary" thing - often people say it when they are kids and carry the bad habit into adulthood. They know it's not the right way to say it, but they do it anyway.

I've NEVER seen that. Ever.
I've never seen it in print, and certainly not on store signage. I'm kind of surprised at that.
And don't even get me started on people who refer to the Pennsylvania Dutch as the "AY-mish."

Furthermore... it is CNC control not C and C control. If I have to tell you again I am going to calibrate the water-jet cutter with yo nards.

OMG this reminds me, when I was in 2nd grade my teacher spelled February wrong, I tried to correct it, telling her I knew it had an extra 'r', and she wouldn't believe me! Changed it back to the wrong spelling. Outrageous! This was one of the first moments of realization, when it became clear that adults and teachers were clearly infallible and not as smart as they claimed.
