    Misusing initial Hs is definitely something we inherited from the British. Except we fixed most of it.

    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    The British pronounce the H in herb. It's the French whose influence causes North Americans (not just Americans) to silence the H in herb.

    Soccer > Football. Or rather Football > Man Grappling.

    Actually
