    • 米国発音 pronunciation of the word varies; some speakers include the h-sound and others omit it, with the h-less pronunciation being the more common. Individual speakers are consistent in their choice, but the choice does not appear to be correlated with any regional, socioeconomic, or educational distinctions. Some 英国発音 dialects may also follow the h-dropping pronunciation where they drop all initial "h"s.
