Better question. Why is HonoraryCoonass spelled with an H?

Same reason Sha-chef-ski is spelled Krzyewski.
Go figure.

Why is "honorary" spelled with an 'h' if its silent? Waste of a letter if you ask me. And a waste of my time

The words hour and honest come from French, and in these cases English took over the French pronunciation as well as the word. Not all such words that have come into English from French still have a silent h, however. Over the centuries we have come to pronounce the h in words like horrible, hospital, host, human, and humour.
