I don’t know why, but this thread is pissing me off. I can’t believe there are pretentious twits out there that say the H! What are they? British? And if one more prick tries to say “an historic”, you’ll have to call the cops.
It’s obvious that I’m joking, right? Right, Mods?
Hoibivaw?
But “thru” is just a convenient hatchet job on signs that don’t have enough room for the full word. I don’t know anyone who thinks that’s the real word.

The overall impression I get from so many English performers is that there’s an undercurrent of resentment at American dominance in so many areas. This drives some to find ways to prove their superiority and harp on it. Jeremy Clarkson is particularly noticeable in this regard, and I lurve Top Gear. I have literally every episode.

I am shocked that Erbivore is not overwhelmingly the #1 poll choice, because that is the only correct way to say it

Don’t ask me why.
**Autolycus **beat me to the obligatory Eddie Izzard reference…
I pronounce the ‘h’ in herbivore, but not in herb. I pride myself on my contradictoriness.
I know that’s not a word, but for the life of me I can’t think of the right one.
I dunno, I don’t get that vibe from this routine,
he riffs on English culture at least as much, but hey, mileage varies.
