    H. When I was young the only people who pronounced this letter as 'Haitch' were the Irish and Liverpudlians. Now it would appear that a mere 30% pronounce it correctly.

    And what about the intrusive "R"

    He saw rit coming.</p>

    When' that one going to be tackled for God's sake?</p>

    Even newscasters do it. Who trains these people?</p>

    Scooby Doo does something similar, listen to him when he says "yeah" sounds like he is saying "ryeah"

    Maybe it's just his accents. I wonder if German Shepherds also have this problem.

    Oh and

    If we're going to be correct, we should say &quot;the general populous pronounces incorrectly.</p>

    Just thought I'd mention that [​IMG]</p>

    RE: Oh and

    Isn't populus correct (come on you Latin scholars)? What really annoys me are the 'loranorder' brigade.
