do you say words with a silent h?
i was on a call where my client kept saying, YOUSTON, TX and i giggled to myself.
i also had a chem teacher who used to take out the H in almost all words.

no way!
my dad says umerous though (humerous) and uge (huge).
-
I don't. Except there is a community nearby called Humble and it's pronounced Umble.
-
What? Why would you do that??
Youston gets an H from me
-
For the longest time I thought it was pronounced YOUSTON! I'm a Brit, so it wasn't a word I heard an awful lot!
-
@mrsjyw: omg YOUSTON?! hahahha. I would have died laughing.
@Leialou: Humble is the only silent-H word I could think of, too!
-
On a related note - our cities like Birmingham, Nottingham etc. do have silent H's so it's funny when American's pronounce the H
-
We definitely don't pronounce it YOUSTON! I would have giggled, too!

LOL this does bother me sometimes but I barely hear it!!! My pet peeve is that my FIL and stepMIL WAY overprounce T's. Like a normal conversation is "whaT caT is in the Tomato planT?" (stupid example) but they just SPIT those T's out. And once when we were playing apples to apples it was especially bad, and step MIL pulled "Tidal Wave" and kept saying it like "TiTe-al wave" and all of us kids were cracking up!
-
My mom pronounces "human" as "youman." We make fun of her all the time.
-
The silent Hs always crack me up!
-
haha no...not at all. Weird.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Aaahhhhh no!
-
@spaniellove: My husband does this on purpose!!! Damn that episode!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: Every time I hear "wheat thins" I say "wHeat thins" to myself! They ruined it!
-
I think it's a NJ thing because a lot of people I know say "(h)uge" LOL.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: hahaha reminds me of this:
-
@.twist.: AHAHHAHAH i've never seen that before and now I can't stop laughing!!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: hahaha it gets me every time. DH and I don't even say whiskey properly any more, it's always wHiskey.
