Loved the show Dress to Kill by Eddie Izzard. He thought thru was much better than through coming to the conclusion that through should be pronounced like thruff.
You say erbs, and we say herbs. Because there's a fucking h in it.
I don't think the British need to pick the "who's worse about skipping letters" fight. Lol
The only reason you pronounce the H is because at some point the brits decided dropping the H made you sound low class. So congrats on perpetuating the elitism

do you have a flag?
My father used to tell me that ghoti was pronounced "fish."
GH as in rough,
O as in women,
TI as in ration.
