Geordie Boyo 24 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It's a silent H. 165840[/snapback] You mean "aitch"? I've always said haitch looking down upon those who say different and if they get funny they get a punch on the nose. It's the only way, trust me.

adios 717 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) It's a silent H. 165840[/snapback] You mean "aitch"? I've always said haitch looking down upon those who say different and if they get funny they get a punch on the nose. It's the only way, trust me. 165859[/snapback] I meant silent "haitch", yes. The girlfiend says 'aitch', I think I say 'haitch' but it was hard to catch myself unawares after I started thinking about it, it's hash* now anyway, terribly cultured! I think us Irish knackers say haitch, when I was growing up people said ah, for the letter A. EDIT: Actually, that should be 'ash'.

Renton 22112 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 My mother for some reason says tortoys instead of tortus [tortoise], and appricot instead of apepricot [apricot]. Stupid Scottish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 tor-toys in Ireland too. First you want to shoot us for not speaking your language, now you want to burn us for not pronouncing some of the words ploply? FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15766 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Any breed of people who can somehow pronounce the word "now" as "nigh" with a bizarre question-like upward inflection at the end deserve some kind of grudging respect tbh.

My mother would say that, but only when she's talking to someone from up North. Do the Scots say that as well?

Actually Western Scotland and NorthernIreland are so closely linked it's amazing there's a sea in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
