na aitch sounds better imo

ive never heard anyone ever pronounce it any other way than "aych" haha.

its aitch i fink

Aich is the proper way of saying it, haich just sounds common to me.

what wod beginning with H do you know you say beginning with aitch? its like hello, you pronounce the h not jsut say ello, hard to explain lol. some people might say ello but thats because of slang

no i think he means when you spell it, wouldn't you say "aitch" or whatever?
i say it like haych anyway

its hard to explain what im trying to say. I know the proper way is aitch and it varies between different regions. Its how youre brought up really.

but what im trying to say is to say haitch, it makes a different noise to aitch. and when you use h at the beginning of a word you pronounce it more similar to haitch than aitch. as in:

ha-lo not ay-lo, hell-oh not ell-oh, happ-e not app-e


scotland has no say in this argument, sorry

probably because haitch has a H at the beginning that's why you think it's right, and i do know what you're trying to say.
& thanks, i never get a say in anything cause i'm right?:S

i tend to drop the H from all words starting with that letter. like i say (h) ello, (h) appening, (h) appy etc. etc.

the only time i'd actually like not drop the H is when i like try, and not speak naturally or whatever :S
