Well now let's get into "H".

This is one thing that always confuses me, even after I'm told cause then I forget it, which is proper, "aetch" or "haetch"?

To English people that is, Americans don't count.

It's aych. That's in standard English, though. A lot of people say 'haych', which is a bit weird.

And it's a roof. Pronounced how it looks (unless you speak Dutch, Flemish, German or I imagine some other languages, when that would be rohf). Roof.

"Tiff", I believe is just wrong. Some may say it with an "F" sound at the end but not with so much emphasis as the double "F" would suggest.

All of you who find this thread amusing are now unofficial Grammar Squad members.

That's right, unofficial. You still don't get to see the forum. :bleh:
