Pronounciation of Hearth (who has been saying it wrong?)

Post by ArvinJA »

This is the correct way to pronounce it.
I've been pronouncing it like "earth" with a "h" in front all these years. :(

Yeah I mean sure, that's how languages evolve and all, but isn't it good form to try to conform to standards? :P

The YouTuber who I learned about this game from pronounced it "hurth," but I've always pronounced it "harth."

Ya, I've always pronounced it "hurth" as well despite there being no way for hear to make the necessary 'her' sound. I'm likely to just keep saying "hurth" to boot, as I'm a bad person.
It just sounds more correct to my ear that way.
