No most of us do but i'll stop when Americans get over their phobia of the letter U and stop missing the H off of herb.

The 'H' thing isn't going to happen. Brits may pronounce the letter 'HAY-ch', but Americans do not.

I do admit it sounds strange though when some Americans leave the sound off completely. The word 'history' is a good example. A portion of the population pronounces it 'istory', as in 'an istory of the world'.
