  1. In Newfoundland and Australia, just to name 2, it’s “Haytch”.
    Big wide world we live in; room for all.

  2. seriously? spelling an writing isn’t important for my lil one.

    (my 3 favourite irks)

    (ivan, it’s a club. you have to let meaty at least give you a kiss)

  3. It is “AY-CH”. Not “HAY-CH”…. even on Sesame Street they teach that… “Today’s episode was brought to you by the letter “AY-CH”. AKA “H”.

  4. In Newfoundland, it’s haitch which is heard at the start of all words starting with vowels and is omitted from words actually spelled with “h”aitch. e.g. ‘e was ‘appy to (h)enjoy ‘is (h)apples and (h)eggs and (h)after went shootin’ wit’ ‘is (h)uzi.

    This is pretty much standard Newfoundland english as found in the Dictionary of Newfoundland English.

  5. Thanks SOHI, I had no idea what this meant.

    And OB, is it ok to say if english is your second language?
