How do you pronounce the 8th letter of the alphabet?

Poll

How do you pronounce the letter H?

It's our good friend the letter H.

Is it "aitch" or "haitch"?

Personally I go with "aitch" but most people locally outside by immediate family seem to go with "haitch".

"Aitchers" - does the pronunciation "haitch" annoy you? (And vice versa I suppose?) I can't say it does me, but as I say I'm used to it.

(Apologies if this thread has been done before, by the way)

It's definitely 'haitch'.
Aitch.

Relevant:
I've always associated the "aitch" pronunciation with American accents/people.. It doesn't annoy me though. I find it a little cute actually.:3
Alternate between the two.

"Aitch", as it's supposed to be.

I say haitch :redface:
Haitch in English and Ha in Dutch
I pronounce it as "ayy", unless this is not a trick/puzzle/enigmatic/problematic/paradoxical question.

I'd pronounce it as "aitch".

I don't know, but you never know...
I always thought that it was haitch, but apparently the correct way is actually aitch.
Haitch.

Define correct.
Haitch irritates me, as a born and bred aitcher
