@Reject that's erbal with a capital ERB.. :P 😄🤔😅

Reject · 26-30, M

@sighmeupforthat 😂 It reminds of that scene from family guy with "cool whip". Why are you putting so much emphasis on the H? Lol!

I think it's called an aspirated h, which is silent. Many words that are imports into English from French behave this way, because h is always silent in French.

@DunningKruger awww it aspired to be heard... Poor little fella 😢

@bijouxbroussard 😀 we have so many different dialects across our counties in this country, there are plenty of accents that you wouldn't even be able to understand or decipher..

Because I speak American English, which is basicly a different language from proper English.

sighmeupforthat · 46-50, M

oh brother.

ok, american? which america? then if you stay 'states' then which region.

see? it's english, that's a very viable format of language, quite expansive.

TheGoodGuy · M
