Oh certainly. But the letter H is the only letter of the alphabet that has
its own spelling and it is 'aitch' not 'Haitch'. ;-)
But 'haitch' is a regional thing, isn't it? West Midlands dialects. (you
must have heard a lot of it in your younger days!) Rather like 'ain't'.
And like 'It were' around here.
I don't remember it from my younger days but we didn't get out much. ;-)
To me, this is a fairly modern curse and seems to be all around us......
