The letter ‘H’ is pronounced ‘aitch’, NOT ‘haitch’!!
That’s all.

Hmmm. Who’s annoyed you then? Personally, I thought it was Haitch. (Seeing as it starts with H). But looks like I’ve been wrong for 22 years!

Sorry to break it to you, Rich, but it is actually ‘aitch’
There were two people today who were spelling something over and over, and unfortunately the word had an h in it… it really started to grate!

Hey, doesn’t bother me in the slightest. If i’m wrong about something i would rather be corrected. I can then learn and speak proper like what others does!

hey, my first time at this site and i just had to comment on this post, everone here in australia pronounces it(’h') as ‘haitch’ and coming from India i have always pronounced it ‘aitch’. This has always bothered me, so its nice to know that someone else shares my irritation.

Is it just me or is the comments page displayed in an odd way….

Rich:
You’re not alone, Kunaal, I think lots of people who are brought up to say ‘aitch’ are irritated when they hear someone say ‘haitch’
I’m not sure, JR - it looks ok for me, and I use a couple of different browsers, so I’m not sure what to fix if there’s something wrong!
I’m glad you agree with me, Kissy

Everybody I have asked to pronounce ‘H’ have said haitch. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Makes sense though, as you say “Harry” not “Arry”. (unless you’re Frank Bruno!

Of course you pronounce the ‘h’ if it’s in a word beginning with ‘h’, but the letter itself is pronounced ‘aitch’ - check the dictionary if you don’t believe me!

I do believe you. (goes to check dictionary! Hehe).
