Ahh, that would do it! I don’t know if I’ve ever actually heard an American person say “herb” so I just assumed the “h” was pronounced like it is everywhere else! Thanks!

Jim Spanfeller is an herb
What does this even mean? And shouldn’t it be a herb? (Not trying to correct you on it, I know you’re just quoting, but I can’t figure out how or why you would say an herb.)
My usual go-to is to ask what their latest/current obsession is. It works really well for a few reasons:
I’ve actually had multiple people on dating sites tell me how great a question they think it is, and that they’re going to use it themselves in the future. So obviously it’s not just me who thinks it’s a great question!
I’m aware of when to use “a” versus “an”, but I wasn’t aware that Americans don’t pronounce the “h”! It makes a lot more sense now, thanks!
…well, a little bit more sense, anyway - I’m still not sure what calling someone “a herb” actually means…
