annoying thing about my dialect of english
we don't drop h at the beginning of words (like americans do - we say herb with a h sound, americans usually say erb)
but we actually do drop it in one specific place: the name of the letter h

@lizardsquid really? I used to go to a summer camp with a lot of Australian counselors and they would say haitch, which confused eleven-year-old me
maybe they were from a different city?

@DialMforMara as I mentioned in a different reply, it was actually forced out of me in school by my teachers

@lizardsquid the idea of pronouncing the h at the start of herb or honest just sounds so very wrong to me.

@lizardsquid If it bothers you, why don't you try training yourself to pronounce h the other way again?
