From wikipedia
H (named aitch /ˈeɪtʃ/ or haitch, plural (h)aitches)[SUP][1][/SUP] is the eighth letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet.

But then I was shocked when I learned that some people pronounce herbs as erbs. As in erbs and spices. Sounds so wrong. I think its an american thing.

Your English is shocking - it's fracas! You know, like a brouhaha that's turned into a melee.

Just about every person I speak to who is under 30 says Haitch, including a couple of teachers they can't all be ****wits can they?

 

[TomandJerry]

What even is a Haitch?

Think they're bring clever, tried it with 'line' and now changing to the proper word 'queue'...why they bother nicking our language and changing a few bits is beyond me....next up should be 'sidewalk' a travesty, do you HAVE to walk on it and what if it's not on the side...oh and they are weakening on using 'football' for the proper game also

As in ba-zil not bay-zil and ory-gano not oh-reg-ah-no. Even worse, since when did route (as in Route 66) become rout?
