damn i wish you was right lol.

but according to my extensive google research it is technically aitch which is rather annoying because it means i have to admit i was wrong.

but its interesting to see what other people still think.

Aithch
or
Haitch

I pronounce it Eitch. Not, eightch.

letters can sound different for each word, unlike spanish vowels which will always make the same sound, english is probably one of the hardest mainstream languages to master. despite that 1 in every 7 people can speak it.

It's like how you Canadians pronounce the letter Z "zed." That doesn't mean the word zoo is pronounced zedoo, it's still zoo.

We pronounce it zed?

technically yes, actually, no. its like "wednesday" is pronouced "wed-nez-day" but we all pronounce it "wins-day"

 

[dude_se]

i pronounce it "wens-day"
i dont care anyway, theres different accents and all sorts, so theres no proper way of speaking any more

aitch

one thing wrong with your 2nd choice is that you cant use the letter your trying to pronounce in the pronunciation, otherwise you dont know the beginning sound.
