I used to say erbs, but then moved to England and realised how ridiculous it is to drop the 'h' so I now say herbs. Why is the h sound dropped anyway? Is there a phonetic reason? We don't drop it in other h words like hard, hotel, hay, hot, hero etc. Just wondering... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-herbs#post-1069165 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:19:00 +0000 lemondrop 1069165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erbs, ha ha, I like spelling it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-herbs#post-1069162 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:16:34 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1069162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: Yes!
