Isn't that one of the ways that you can tell Roman Catholics from Protestants? I was brought up (in the south of England) as a Protestant and always pronounced it "aitch". I was sent to a Roman Catholic school where suddenly everybody said "haitch". Very odd I thought.
"A hour" and "A heir" are both just wrong. "A hotel" and "An hotel" are both used and I don't know which is right or wrong - it's possible both are acceptable.
"Could of" is wrong.
I guess I'm a bit of a grammar nazi.
