Correct pronunciation of "herbs"
In the past, I used to say "Herbs", then I was corrected and told that the "H" is muted and one should say "Erbs". Watching some video, the instructor keeps saying "Herbs". What is the right pronunciation?
Answer
It's pronounced both ways. NOAD gives this:
herb |(h)ərb|
The parenthetical h indicates that it may be aspirated or omitted.
