:shocked:

GaGa?:amazed:

mmmm what'cha saaaaay

sorry, took a while to look up the french pronunciation :p

Oh, there was no poll, so me posting GaGa makes me look like a complete ****z

'Aitch' :tongue:

Haitch

how weird. I was thinking about this today!

Haitch

Haitch.

H

Aitch is the correct pronounciation, so aitch, I'm shocked there's more "Haitchers."

Aitch, because I'm not a filthy pauper.

m

It's strange how dropping the "H" from other words in pronunciation is more stereotypically seen as a sign of poor diction (such as "alf" instead of "half") whereas the correct pronunciation of the letter is without it.

Just what I was thinking. I hardly know anybody who says "haitch"

I can't type how I say it. :(

Haitch. From the south.

Haitch

aitch seen as though thats how it's supposed to be said

Haitch
Aitch sounds chavy

Learn how to speak English then

why would you need to say h anyway? unless you were spelling something and i imagine that those who say 'aitch' cant spell so it doesnt really matter

its the letter "h" so im just calling it by the letter ;)
ur not

The actual letter is pronounced 'aitch'

well jaye dont insult me when ur in the minority of the forum :rolleyes:

Why am I insulting you? You're the one using text speak, incorrect grammar and English

I'm from the south, it's not a matter of where you're from, Aitch is the correct pronounciation :hugesmile:

Calling it by the letter?

Does this mean you pronounce f as feff, l a lell, m as memm, n as nenn, s as sess, w as wubble-u and x as xexx?

Haitch

Enid you bitch :nono:

Heard it was only British people that said AICH here everyone says Haich but then again judging by the amount of people on here that said Haich I guess I was told wrong.

I wouldn't go by this forum to be honest....

Haitch.

Haitch, although Aitch is the correct pronunication.

why is being correct in the minority? :bored:

It's not txt spk

I dont think text speech has anything to do with it tbf. Its just how weve been taught to pronounce it and its stuck. :laugh:

"In almost all dialects of English, the name for the letter is pronounced /ˈeɪtʃ/ and spelled ‹aitch›[1] or occasionally ‹eitch›. The pronunciation /ˈheɪtʃ/ and hence a spelling of ‹haitch› is often considered to be h-adding and hence nonstandard. It is, however, a feature of Hiberno-English[2] and other varieties of English, such as those of Malaysia and Singapore. In Northern Ireland it is a shibboleth as Protestant schools teach aitch and Catholics haitch.[3] In Australia, this has also been attributed to Catholic school teaching and is estimated to be in use by 60% of the population.[4] The perceived name of the letter affects the choice of indefinite article before initialisms beginning with H: for example "an HTML page" or "a HTML page". The pronunciation /ˈheɪtʃ/ may be a hypercorrection formed by analogy with the names of the other letters of the alphabet, most of which include the sound they represent.[5]

The non-standard haitch pronunciation of h has spread in the United Kingdom, being used by approximately 24% of British people born since 1982."

Yes, I did really google this.

I know. I hate to be such a freak about it too but I'm a stickler for English (despite not being great at it myself). I'm just old fashioned :D
