Throughout history, those with social clout have set the standards for what’s the more acceptable pronunciation.

Like Dr. Seuss’ Star-Belly Sneetches & Plain-Belly Sneetches, there are two types of creatures — haitchers with H on their 8th letter name và aitchers with “none upon thars”.
That H isn’t so big. It’s really so small. You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.
But it does — the tiny H on “(h)aitch” divides the nation. The pronunciation has become something of a social password, a spoken shibboleth distinguishing in-groupers from out-groupers. Those with social clout phối the standards for what’s “in” và what’s “out” — no H has the stamp of approval.
The best kind of people are people without!
Shibboleths die hard — the opprobrium attached to haitch probably derives from its long association with Irish Catholic education. There’s no real evidence for this, mind, as Sue Butler points out, but never let facts get in the way of a good shibboleth.
Aitchers’ reactions are often visceral. Someone once reported to us an encounter with haitch is lượt thích an encounter with fire ants. We’ve no doubt that psycho-physiological testing would show that haitch can raise goosebumps. Linguistic pinpricks are established early on in the acquisition process (“Don’t say ‘haitch’”!) & they arouse emotions lượt thích other childhood reprimands (including swearwords).
The ins & outs of H
The story of the weakly articulated H is murkily entwined with the story of its name. Long gone from Old English words like hring “ring”, hnecca “neck” and hlūd “loud”, it would have disappeared entirely if writing hadn’t thrown out a lifejacket.
It was once usual for speakers lớn drop aspirates at the beginning of words — in fact up until the 1700s, it was fashionable to vày so. But a spelling-obsessed 18th century stigmatised the loss of many consonants, including H.
R-less pronunciations of arm and car might have snuck under the radar, but H-dropping fell well & truly from grace.
In 1873, Thomas Laurence Kington-Oliphant wrote about this “revolting habit” in his chapter “Good và Bad English”, advising:
Few things will the English youth find in after-life more pro-fitable than the right use of the aforesaid letter.
And so, the English youth restored H lớn words like hat, và even at the start of many French words like humble, which had entered English H-less (the Romans pronounced their Hs, but the French dropped theirs). Spellers who weren’t quite sure whether or not lớn include H added a few extras along the way — umble pie (“offal pie”) turned into humble pie.
Haitch has the pedigree
There’s an ironic wrinkle to lớn this story. The name aitch might be a sign of high education in some circles, but is itself an example of H-dropping. Deriving from medieval French hache or “axe” (hatchet and hashtag are relatives), it also arrived in English H-less (like humble and herb).
It’s a curious letter name being, as the Oxford English Dictionary describes, “so remote from any connection with the sound”. In fact there’s solid evidence supporting haitch as the better option. To lớn understand why, we need to appreciate the primacy of initial letter sounds in words.
Learning and alliteration
English speakers find it easiest khổng lồ attend to và manipulate the beginning sounds of words. For example, it’s easier for us (orally, that is - by sound, not spelling) lớn take away the “b” sound in beat (to make it eat) or khổng lồ replace the “b” with a “p” to lớn make it Pete than it is to take away the “t” sound in beat (to make it be) or khổng lồ replace it with a “k” to lớn make it beak.
It’s more natural for us lớn focus on initial sounds, especially for children.
We often make use of alliteration in names & tongue twisters. Dr. Seuss (think Aunt Annie’s Alligator or The Butter Battle Book), Walt Disney (such as Donald Duck; Mickey Mouse), and J.K. Rowling (Godric Gryffindor; Helga Hufflepuff; Rowena Ravenclaw; Salazar Slytherin) all capitalised on this phenomenon.
Tongue twisters highlight the special unique of alliteration for learning as well; who can forget Peter Piper và his pickled peppers, Silly Sally & her sheep, or Betty Botter và her butter?
The ABCs of the ABC
Many letters of the alphabet are phonetically iconic; their names represent the sound they make. In places where letter names are learned before letter sounds, such as nước australia and the US, these letter names can facilitate children in learning letter sounds and, ultimately, word reading. The letter sounds that are easiest to lớn remember are those that begin with their corresponding letter, such as B, D, J, K, P, or T.
Research shows it’s more difficult khổng lồ learn sounds made by letters that end with their letter sound, such as F, L, và M. Those that have no correspondences lớn the letter sound are the most difficult. Logically, W should make the “d” sound (or change its name to wubble-u).
Haitch vs. Aitch, round 2
Whatever your visceral reaction to pronouncing H one way or the other, haitch has definite benefits for letter sound learning.
So it’s not surprising it’s taking off in some parts of the English-speaking world. When the letter H is pronounced beginning with the letter sound it makes, children have an easier time learning its correspondence as they learn to read.
Dr. Seuss implicitly understood this. We suggest that a follow-up primer for young readers will one day include Horton hearing a Haitch.
