I say 'erb'.... because the h is silent

although you were probably just being funny...in which case i'll eat animal crackers

There's this joke book that translates US English to UK English and one that translate Cockney Rhyming English to Standard English and Scottish Dialect to English.

Did you know that cracker is an American word?

the H isn't silent, its pronounced with the H
