Many accents drop their leading 'H' sounds.
- richrichardsson 2y agoI wish I could care less about such things, but sometimes linguistic descriptivism is the wrong path to take. The H should be voiced. Just because some people are too lazy to speak their own language correctly doesn't make it correct, in my worthless opinion.
