they don't say herb like we do h-erb  they say erb without the h wots that all about?

Because once upon a time the letter 'H' at the start of a word was silent,

 

An (h)ospital

An (h)otel

An (h)erb

 

and such

and we spell, brought like this, we cram as many vowels in as we can, and a G, cos you never know and a T just in case,  and an H in case any 'erbs come along..
