They don't have any advisory fee on the cash account. That is only for brokerage accounts.


> It is from French after all.

This is funny to me because I often see people on the internet mentioning how strange it is that Americans leave off the 'h' when pronouncing 'herb'.


Kind of weird considering how often British speakers will drop h in other words:

“Allo, allo, what ave we ere,” said the stereotypical constable.


It is fairly unusual for American not to Anglicise pronunciations so it seems to stand as odd one out. Then again you kept the original "correct" pronunciation of herb - it was British English that changed for some reason.

Even the poshest Brit will put the H in herb now.


> It is fairly unusual for American not to Anglicise pronunciations

Anecdotal, but I think this is only true for French. For example, I think U.S. Americans (even those with no Latin American ethnic background) are much more likely to pronounce Spanish loanwords in a way that's closer to the original than Brits are.

If my anecdotal belief is correct, I suppose it's largely because of the very close contact between the U.K. and France on the one hand, and the U.S. and Latin America on the other.


Wait, some people pronounce herb with the 'h' not silent?



Funnily enough the result I got is completely irrelevant: the sentence is "welcome her back to stage".


The sentence does make sense. Its actually:

"so please welcome Herb Kim back to stage."


Yeah, British people. Not sure about other English speaking nations.


To add to the irony, I have a British accent which often drops (initial) Hs but I cringe whenever I hear 'erbal'.


Where do you see that?

I see this:

Did they just copy the article exactly and then put "- The Olympian" at the end of the title. Horrible.

Yes. That's how syndication works. You pay for content, then tell your end-users where you got it from.

No, seriously, ew.

I reject 100% hieroglyphic communication.


⭐As in, you reject communication that is 100% hieroglyphics?

Or you 100% reject the use of hieroglyphics in communication?

I'm aware that the former is a subset of the latter.


, as in, emoticons and emoji are meant to be used like punctuation.


But what if they contain an actual word, like "cool"?

Did you try to use an emoticon to start your sentence and fail? Or was that a typo?

See my previous post on what emoticons are still legal on HN.


And the original reporting was actually done here: https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2019/04/counterfeit-apple-i...


I'd like to pedantically point out that this source is the only one who followed literary convention and wrote out the word "two," which you're supposed to do for any number under 10.


When I type in a city to the "Where" box and hit enter, it flashes quick but doesn't seem to filter.

Also whenever I type anything into the "Keyword" box nothing is returned.


Looks like they hit the daily request limit on the Google Maps API (you'll see the error message if you hit Cmd-Option-J in Chrome).


Indeed! I did not expect so much traffic! I'm working now to restore it.


Fixed! Sorry everyone!
