whenever an american pronounces herb as ‘urb’ it shocks me. do you say elp as well instead of help or like air instead of hair or like umour instead of humour wtf the h is there for a reason
Because the word is French and the H is silent at least we can pronounce our stolen words correctly
the word is Latin and they pronounced the h JUST SAYING
Actually, though, in the Classical era, initial H was usually silent in Latin.
