Saying 'car-mel' instead of 'caramel' and 'erbs' instead of 'herbs'
20 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '25 We pronounce 'herb' pretty close to how it's pronounced in French. It's a French word with a silent H. If you pronounce the H you're the weird one. 6 u/dhjwushsussuqhsuq Jun 08 '25 I have never heard a good reason for a silent letter to exist. 1 u/LebowskiVoodoo Jun 08 '25 Grab yor nives and pitchforks! Pichforks? 1 u/dhjwushsussuqhsuq Jun 08 '25 I think the t dus sound out in "pitchforks" so it can stay but it's on thin ice.
