On the letter H.

I want to say something about the eighth letter of the alphabet. When mentioning this letter in conversation it is pronounced aitch, exactly as it is spelled. There is no H at the beginning of the word. It IS NOT pronounced haitch. The word haitch does not exist in the English language; check in the dictionary if you doubt me.

Thank-you for your support my fellow speaker and writer of correct grammar. It’s good to know that I am not alone in the war against poor pronunciation.
