It keeps bugging me. Is it 100% incorrect to pronounce the ‘h’ in ‘hour’, or is it equivalent to pronouncing the ‘h’ in when?
Want to know when I post new content to my blog?

We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

The weird thing is that I don't remember ever being actually taught that list.
And I think I would, seeing as how I still remember the times I learnt how to pronounce "aren't" (yeah, I spent a whole day on that one because I couldn't wrap my head around how the spelling gave birth to the pronunciation, but in my defense it was pretty early on) and "overwhelm."

By the way, the reason for that sudden, existential interrogation was that I'm pretty sure I heard Nathan Fillion pronounce the 'h' in "three hours" in last week's Castle. Since I found out about the possibility of "hwen" and "hwere" from the Gilmore Girls grandmother, I figured it might be an option too.
