Technically, 'erbs is correct, and 'aitch should not have a voiceless... uvular fricative I think it's called? The hhhh breathing sound, it should not have that in it.

But I believe at some point there was a posh people language fad to over correct the habit of dropping sounds in speech and that led to the introduction of the sound to the letter H in some cases.

That it should not have the sound is why the words hour and our are homophones, nobody says how-er (there is probably some village or particularly inbred posh people who says how-er but they don't count) but some words, such as herb, acquired it.

However, I think some of the time you would probably drop it still if your dialect drops its h's as a rule.

Several jokes in Shakespeare get missed if you pronounced or don't pronounce the h

Whore used to rhyme with hour

Yeah, and it was workshopped a lot further in the meme thread. The original incel/excel is loving solid though.

I think this one's okay, to be honest. Sometimes it's good to be thorough, and given that the periodic table and the abbreviations of elements are widely understood, it's a fairly straightforward diagram. Maybe I've just read too many science papers that didn't explain their methods clearly enough, that I'm happy with overexplaining.

I don’t know if you’re talking about fascism or figs here.

I cannot console you about fascism, but I want you to know that wasp thing is for Smyrna figs. The common fig and many of the hundreds of species of wild figs don’t have that relationship with wasps.

no that's just unusual numbers of neutrons
