H - unvoiced H at the beginning of some words
"Silent H : H is not pronounced at the beginning of many words (the text doesn't say which are these "many words"!!!!). Use the article "an" with unvoiced H. Here are some of the most common: hour, honest, honor, heir, herb." Can someone list other words with unvoiced H as a first letter?

Not on this side of the pond it ain't! We say "herb" as "'erb" so it's one of those British/American differences. Isn't English fun?

I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but I will let you know if I do.
Also, the H is pronounced in Herb.
