Do they say "herbs" in england then? I guess it was english, and not American English I learned :p
-
Gubernatorial is one of my favorite words, because it sounds like it would be the word with the meaing, "of or relating to a goober."
-
All American English speakers call it, "'erbs". Then again, there might be some remote region in the US that are adamant about calling it "herbs," but the newscasters will always say "'erbs."

A great-aunt (grandmother's sister) of mine was born in the US but her parents immigrated from England. When she was born they asked what her name should be for the birth certificate. They responded "Ellen" but the hospital staff assumed they had dropped the h since they were English and wrote down Helen, which is what her name became.

I have always heard the word pronounced "herbs", is the other pronunciation usual in USA? And where?
-
Not necessarily. The influence of digital clocks has led some English Speakers to say the digital time from an analog clock.

cyberbadger, I tink it depands if you has a analogue or digital clock.

I think that depending on where you live [English speaking countries], and your other circumstances the way to say time varies. In this digital age some people just say that exact time. For example 3:45 might not be "quarter till four" but "three fourty five". I think it's important to understand both ways of describing the time linguistically in english.
