Thought-Provoking Erb And Spice Differences

We came across this article from Merriam-Webster's 'Words at Play' that sounds interesting with thought-provoking reasons to read further, therefore we share here for comments, if any.


Our title above had been purposely misspelt by omiting the first letter of the word 'herb' with an intention to grab better attention and to grab more readings done; since the word (Herb) may be pronounced with or without the 'H" sound being uttered, for instance an Herb store or a herb store.

The same are words like herbaceous, herbicide, herbivore, and herbal in medicine too!

Can we also assume that ALL Americans pronounce it an 'erb', h-less-ly?

Of interest is the debated question: If variety is is the spice of life, what's the herb?  Also, is banana a herb or fruit?
