    How do Americans pronounce 'herbalist'? Without the 'h' as well?

    Panoptic is one of the coolest sci-fiesuqe words. Fun fact, there's a prison design coined by Jeremy Bentham known as Panopticon, where by all the inmates under one watchman' eye, without them being able to tell whether they're being watched or not. So dystopian~

    Yes we do. We pronounce it "erbalist".

    That sounds so awesome and high tech!
