Dr. Nick Riviera Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Aitch and zed, but this is pointless because you're surrounded by 300,000,000 fools that will argue otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hotel - Zulu , over . But seriously "Aich "and "Zed "for me although in my native Holland "H" is a horrible guttural "Gggggg." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Aitch and Zed. Zee in the USA. 'Haitch' really gets on my nerves!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Zed without a doubt - that doesn't need debating but the 'H' one is a bit more difficult....I'm fairly sure the ''correct'' way of pronouncing it is ''aitch'' however i can't get past the fact that it should be said ''haitch''. I'm fairly well spoken and talk competently and don't use americanisation version of words, nor do i put 'z' on the end of words to make them plural but i really think 'H' should be said ''haitch''.Not only for one obvious reason that ''haitch'' starts with a 'H' but also i think ''aitch'' sounds really common. As well spoken English is usually considered relatively proud and refined then i don't see how ''aitch'' sits in a civilised world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) Haitch.For Z, it doesn't really matter. It annoys me to see words beginning with H to be preceded with an. I usd to play a game called dragon warrior monsters on the gameboy, and you would occasionally recieve an herb. It's A.. HERB.I voted for zee, but to be honest, I use both.

UrbanPoet Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Aitch is the correct pronunciation. The 'z' one is pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Aitch and Zed, had a long as discussion with someone about this before, no winners, but it's still the correct way of prounouncing each letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 'Ache' isn't right, as that's like 'ake' I was gonna start a poll on "Ache vs Aitch" but I've been banned for less in the past so I thought I wouldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 "huh"and "zuh"That's it.But then you'd get a debate over if it's 'zuh' or 'zzz'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Aitch and zed.'Ache' isn't right, as that's like 'ake' Yeah i realized that a while back. Any mod wants to change ti go ahead, but it's pretty much 50:50 so i'm happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Z is Zed.H is a bit of a bugger though.If I'm saying the alphabet I'll say Aitch.If I'm spelling "hat" I'll say "Haitch Ay Tee". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Powell Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Z is deffo ZedAnd H Is Haitch, Because when you leanr the alphabets in nursery they tell you to say 'huh' then that leads to haitch. If you think about it aitch isnt it because it needs the 'Huh'.I think that makes sense? Im probably wrong ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Obviously "zed".But "haitch" for me, I feel that is correct as it begins with a "H".Obviously I'm probably wrong, but as it is a habit then I am not changing it. =D Edited March 27, 2009 by Captain Scarlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
