Drop the 'haitch'
 
I wish Scouse wouldn't drop his haitches. If he didn't, then I wouldn't have spent the last 5 years incorrectly calling a friend of his Ellen :frown:

Why do people pronounce the letter H with an H at the beginning? :D

Because they are poorly educated. This applies to some teachers as well. There is no such letter as "HAYCHE".

Ok, ok, aitch. I was focused on the 'h' bit.

And I could often be found sneaking a fag in the sports shed during classes ;)

This is one of my big annoyances... particularly in light of this...

I raised my child to not pronounce "aitch" as "haitch" because, I said, even though a lot of other people do it... it's wrong.

You can imagine my disgust when, at school, a teacher called it "haitch" and when my child said "my Mum says I should say "aitch" not "haitch"... the teacher says "your Mum is wrong".

WTF. Ignorant dumb-ass cow. On several levels.

No, she has a particularly ignorant donkey. Her bottom is, apparently, relatively educated in matters pertaining to shite. :p

If anyone's upset at the atrocious spelling and grammar on this thread, just imagine I'm giving you a comforting pat on the back.

Saying 'there, their, they're'.

A couple of years ago after hearing their teacher say haitch several times one of my boys told the teacher it was aitch not haitch :lol: She was fine with it but I'm not sure if she changed her ways but well done my boy anyway.

Yes. I don't mind if teachers get it wrong... but when they get it wrong and tell my kid that gets it right that they're wrong... that gets my back up.

I was given a ridiculous amount of tests at an agency interview. I wasn't impressed when they marked "its" (belonging to it) wrong and said that I should have written "it's". They told me that lots of people get that wrong:blink:. They weren't happy when I pointed out their error:lol:.
