You would be pronouncing it incorrectly, then.

The H is silent unless it's a person's name so it'd be an herb

I know in England they typically pronounce the H. It's all accent dependent.

I've never heard an English person pronounce the H. Could you find an example?

It's not accent dependent. You're wrong and England is wrong.

The H being silent is irrelevant to using "an". The first letter of the word is a consonant so therefore it's "a herb".

It's about the first sound of the word, not first letter. The first sound of the word is a vowel, so you use an.

A / an goes off of starting consonant or vowel sound, not letter.

Well hell. I guess that's what I get for trying to remember school from 20 years ago.

Gordon Ramsey pronounces the H in herb all the time. It drives me nuts just hearing him say it that way.

If you say it with the H then a herb.

If you say it without the H the an herb.
