I pronounce the h.
Were i come from in Scotland, we dont pronounce the "t" at the end of a word.
Like if I were to say "sit", it would sound like sih. I think.
Its hard to explain xD.

How many of you pronounce the h in herb? And not just in fast speech where I'd miss it out. Adam doesn't even acknowledge the h's existence.

Yeah, I pronounce the 'h'. A few weeks ago I'd have said that's the only way to pronounce it, then I learned that Americans don't pronounce the 'h' for some bizarre reason.

I used to say it with the 'h' but after being "corrected" a number of times I stopped.

[Frogger]

I just think it's stupid when trying to speak "correctly" and 'erb comes out. I thought herb was the only logical way. Fine if you're slurring your speech though.

I just hate America.

I pronounce it with the 'h', like I would with Herbivore, Herbert etc.

No "h" for me.

"Herb" is a proper noun, "'erb" is a name used to classify a variety of plants.

I pronounce the "h" and got mocked endlessly for it.
Good to know I'm not alone in my pronunciation ;D

Amen.

@Lewi--I think we all hate America a little, especially the Americans.

ROB: All of the people named Herb that I've known (a grand total of two) have also pronounced their name "Erb".
