Do you pronounce the 'h' in the word 'herb' or is it a silent letter?

Hi,
Please tell me where I can vote how I think the words : 'herb' and 'router' should be pronounced so that I could take part in voting/ballot. I saw the percents of votes but not found where to vote for.
Many thanks!

helle everyone.I looked it up in Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary software.According to this dictionary,Americans pronounce without a noticable h sound.But,english people pronounce it with a constant h sound.

Thanks Torsten. I didn't see earlier the appropriate option to vote, and ,,submit'', because probably I wasn't logged in. Now I've taken part in this voting/ballot :)

Hi Brian,

Thank you very much for your recording. It's very good that you mentioned the difference in pronunciation between the name Herb and the word herb. I wasn't aware of that.

Regards,
Torsten

Hi,

I would certainly pronounce the 'h' in 'herb' and in the name 'Herbert'. Incidentally the expression: I felt a right Herbert' means 'I felt really stupid'.
