As much as it pains me to say it, because it drives me fucking insane, apparenly 'haitch' is how it is said in some Irish dialects though.
It's still fucking wrong though. And schools do teach wrong things. I was one of many people taught that it is spelt 'Dilemna', even though no such word exists in any dictionary.

It's a common(ish) thing apparently. I spent ages reading up about it in disbelief just a few weeks ago when I discovered it was wrong.
