Ditto. However, I have a British friend called David who says "haych", and my grandfather does as well. In fact, David's pronunciation of the letter made everyone laugh when we were doing "Animal Farm". There was a scene where he had to read "E, F, G, H" as Boxer the carthorse, and whenever he would say "haych", everybody would laugh. :smile:

I'd say J to ryhem with K. I've never heard it said any other way. Have you? Well, obviously you have otherwise we wouldn't be discussing it, but...well...nevermind...

J rhymes with K if it rhymed with 'I' then I would be doing a very OTT impression of an Australian. :wink:

Unless it's the Scottish pronounciation? "Jem, Jemy, Jem, Jem, Jem..."
