Is It "aitch" of "haitch?"

How do you pronounce the letter “H”?  Stupid question right? 

Well in my last blog, I wrote that I was going fishing at Canoe Creek State Park.. which is drained right?  Sounds like a dumb idea, but I was able to find pockets of undrained water, and fish were feeding active in order to prepare for winter.  I put the hammer down.  Not bad, not a ton of fish, but the fish I caught were all two the three pounds.  Ok, now I’m just tootin’ my own horn.  But anyways, dumb idea, was not so dumb.  Which follows a supposedly dumb question, “How do you pronounce the letter “H”?

I promise this will all sort of connect…

So anyways… fishing, catching fish, and well I lost a big fish, and it took my fishing lure, the only fishing lure I had, and the only one that the fish were willing to bite.  Also… you remember in the last blog titled, “Try Something new?”  Well I did, tried to tie a new fishing knot… total fail… lost a big fish and the only lure… well, learning takes trials and errors.  So, Fish won’t bite anything else… so I decided to head over to Sportsman’s Warehouse, and buy the lure that I lost.  While buying the darn thing, I was talking to an employee there.  And he asked me if I ever fished Raystown.  Which I told him I oly fished the spillway and damn,  but never knew where to fish at the lake, because I don’t know where there is shore access, since I am a shore/bank fisherman.  He told me to go fish at “Aitch.”  I looked at him, as if he was trying to relay a code to me.  “H?”  like the letter, “H”?  He says, “Naw, man.. not ‘haitch,’ “Aitch.” 

WTF???  “aitch” is the letter “H”?  He says, “ No, Aitch is a location of a place you can fish, it’s a name, A-I-T-C-H.”  I started laughing and said, “Man, I thought you were saying the letter.”  He says, “Naw man, that’s “Haitch.”  Which I paused, stared at him, like he’s crazy, as he just nods his head.  So… then I got all confused.  I bought my lure, and went back to Canoe Creek State Park and tried to fish.  But all I have been thinking is, “Is it ‘aitch’ of ‘haitch’?”  And wondered if I have been saying the letter “H”  wrong my entire life.  This is important because I got two little kids that are learning the alphabet and I am pretty damn sure that when I would sing the ABC song, there was no “haitch” or it is…

So… maybe both pronunciations are right?  Comment below… because suddenly now I am effing confused again…  Also, side note, but worth knowing…  You know that animal that looks like a horse but has black and white stripes?  It is a ‘Zeebra’ or ‘Zebra’, like pronounced like the name Debra?  Oh man.. I feel so dumb right now!

Next week, I promise to be more theological in my blog… where we discuss “It is catholic or Catholic?”  That one is a lot less confusing.

    Hey this is Rev. Brian Choi's random thought throughout my week.  Most of this stuff, will probably be about family, church, fishing, music, movies, food, whatever I think of, hopefully it will have some sort of theological reflection (maybe).
