Having three examples looks and sounds better. When I find a third example of an English word that starts with a silent H, I'll edit that example to include it.
Thank you, but no. Where I am, the H in herb is pronounced. I was hoping for words that have the same H sound in all accents (except cockney, they pronounce nothing.)
HI caliphiliac, I was laughing with you, not at you. I thought is was really funny how you put the last example in the way you did-.Sometimes things don't always come across as intended. I apologise if you took this as me making fun of you :)
a / an
Authorities seem to disagree. Where do you come down on the age-old “an hospital” problem?
Then they're all idiots and should listen to me.
If the H is pronounced, it should be "a". "a hospital", "a honey bee", "a horrific tragedy".
If the H is silent, then it should be "an". "an honour", "an hour", "̶a̶n̶ ̶u̶n̶f̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶r̶d̶ ̶e̶x̶a̶m̶p̶l̶e̶"̶, "an heir"!
Lol "an unfound third example"

Only in American English, in UK it's pronounced ;)
