Dito.

But when I pronounce it in English I say what I have learned and that is "aitch".

It is AITCH.

Why the hell would you say "Haitch"? That's wrong.

I don't, the "H" is silent.

its an hour....an goes before vowel sounds not just vowels..so you may think it should be a hour since H is a consonent but it's basically "ours" so its an. Theres no discussion here.
2005-10-02, 1:42 PM #34
I think, though I may be mistaken, that with older English, an h at the beginning of a word was silent. "History" used to be pronounced "istory" and was preceded with "an" instead of "a." There are only a few words in modern English that still do that.

Technically speaking "an history" is still correct.

Yet weirdly Americans are the only people to say 'Herbs' with a silent H.
