This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Haitch
When someone pronounces the letter h as 'haich' it really, really pisses me off. It is 'aitch' ffs.

Unfortunately...
It is supposed to be pronounced "Haitch".

Really?
Are you sure?

If by sure you mean wrong, then yes.

Of course 'haich' has got a 'h' in it
Just like 'ay' has got an 'a', 'bee' has got a 'b' and 'see' has got a 'c' in it.

Please cite your source[s].
Assuming there is no source: Why do people deliberately pronounce this incorrectly? It's not dialect or accent and [pending a source] it's not correct. Doesn't everyone know this?

I would
pronounce it haitch, but I'm from 'ull and nearly always drop my aitches anyway.

I thought only Aussies said "haitch"
Hmmm.

Don't get me started on those buggers who pronounce short 'u's as if they're 'a's.
