As most of you are aware, I am a creator of videos for YouTube. Getting straight to the point, I keep getting ranted at on how I pronounce some words "incorrectly", mostly the words "herb" and "spinel".
With "herb", I get this complaint from those in the European area. Of course, over here in America, we pronounce "herb" with a silent H, while in the UK, they pronounce the H sound. This here is merely a concept of diverse culture. However, those elitist snob bastards want to act like their language and culture are superior, and I'm a neanderthal for living in another country, pronouncing a word differently than they do. Of course, if they ever bothered looking in a dictionary, they would realize that convincing me of my "error" would be in vain, because the dictionary trumps their BS.
Now, with "spinel", this one is probably a simple matter of confusion with the word "spinal" from kids who don't know any better but want to act like they're hot shit by pointing out my non-existent "mistake". However, if they would have just used a dictionary to make certain of their claim, they wouldn't have had to make public asses of themselves. Score another one for me.
Seriously, there's a freakin' dictionary web site these idiots could use for quick reference, but they would rather cling to their feeling of superiority than chance getting shut down before their attacks. What a bunch of fucktards.

2.) I do try to educate morons without insulting them, but most of the time,
pointing out their mistake IS an insult, so it becomes a no-win scenario of
infinite bull shit. Posted by Xelger at 9:31pm on Jun/21/2010

3.) If it is a name, then I pronouce the letter h in herb. Otherwise, I treat it as
silent. From what I just said, an uneducated person might deduce that a capital
h is pronounced whereas a lowercase h is silent. This may be a theory to test. Posted by Koenig340 at 10:19pm on Aug/03/2010
