    “Age” and “H” sound alike, so when the Doc wants to know the patient’s age, the patient thinks the Doc wants help with spelling the name.

      That’s bad, that is a bad joke, that is not funny and doesn’t make sense in text form and barely makes sense in verbal from. age and H do not sound the same at all.

    There are a couple of ways to pronounce the letter ‘H’ that could sound like ‘age’; one that keeps a soft ‘hah’ sound before ‘aitch’ and one that drops the soft ‘hah’. Both can sound end up sounding similar to a cross between eight/age depending on how clearly you enunciate.

    Age sounds like the letter H so the patient thinks that the doctor wants to know how to write their name correctly.

  Age sounds like H? Henry thinks the doc needs help spelling.

    I guess it sounds similar in American English at least? For me it’d be “haitch” lol

      Not in west coast american English at least. I don’t think I would ever mix these up where I live either.

    I know my degeneratedelightful neighbours in Aussie pronounce it “hhaych” for some reason - maybe that’s got something to do with it?
