Anyone that says Haich was banged too hard on the head as a child and you’ll never change my mind
Hwhy would you say that?
Saying hwhat hwerid?
I’ve never heard anyone anywhere pronounce it haitch.
It’s common in Irish communities and in random places across the UK.
The YouTubers NerdCubed and Real Civil Engineer, both British AFAIK, both say (or at least said) it that way.
Okay? I’m sure you can infer from the existence of this thread and the reactions to it that others have encountered it often enough to be noteworthy.
Relevant Mitchell and Webb:
This makes zed sense
I just pronounce it as H.

Anyone remember who did the TV comedy sketch with the following exchange? (I’m thinking Dick Emery, but not sure.)

Halpert? Or Ancock?

“I take a hit, but it smells like a glove; oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano”
Offspring ruined my pronounciation.
The people who put an H in aitch are the same who never pronounce the h in any other word.
I never got why some people put an extra aitch at the start of aitch.

same reason they drop the L sound in guillotine
Imagine thelleter actually making the sound that it usually does when used in words. Couldn’t be the english spelling.
I refuse to believe that a majority of people say “Haitch”. They’re the left side of the graph.
