As a result of my recent post in I&A on the "Ambrose Bierce" thread, I am reminded of something that I have been meaning to ask you for a while, now.

When you are spelling a word out loud, how do you pronounce "H"?

I was brought up to say, "aitch," but I have noticed a rapidly growing tendency for people to pronounce it, "haitch." When I was young, such a pronunciation was a sign of ill-education, but I hear it now from people who are anything but badly educated.

I will admit to the logic of the second version (and the converse illogic, indeed) but I do have to say that it gates on my ear.
