how do Americans pronounce herbivore

English is a big melting pot of languages, or perhaps the avalanche of words is too much to realize such a thing from hearing the American parlance

French people focus on the uh/ah sound when they speak, like, "oui", or "au avoir"
Americans people focus on the sound coming out of their mouth, like 'I have the right to' and 'I shouldn't have to'

I agree, we're never gonna make alphabet soup this way, perhaps we could always throw together some lingiuinists?

All the different spellings between american english and standard english come from Noah Webster being the first person to widely publish a dictionary in America. He tried to simplify english by spelling everything phonetically like 'tung' instead of tongue 'iland' instead of island and a bunch of even more retarded crap which meant that nearly every word in the dictionary was spelt wrong, but a few words of it stuck because patriotism resulted in people supporting Websters dictionary full of incorrectly spelt words. So American english is the outcome of a failed experiment in linguistics, which is really quite fitting.

Say aluminum.

Did it sound like, "abloom a bloo"? You might be American.

Say herb.

Did it sound like, "ERRRRRRRRRRRRb"? You might be American.

Say hospital visit

Did it sound like bankruptcy? You might be American.

The "h" thing is actually you lame-os adorably freaking out about trying to not sound lower class and shoving the h sound in where it wasn't before.

Nothing feels more awkward than a random Midwesterner trying to make "wanker" sound like a natural part of his speech.
