exRangerSeptember 2021 Also, there’s no hard (note: ’h’ not silent) and fast rule for ”silent” versus ”not silent” pronounced ”he” in English, but a good rule is that words (in English) derived from French that begin w/ letter ”h”, the ”h” is often - but not always - silent. Sometimes it can go either way, e.g., the word ”horrible”: Americans usually pronounce the ”h” -- it’s not silent; Brits usually do not pronounce the ”h” -- it is silent. |
