When I say them, they do not sound the same. I do give the L some love.kusch wrote:They are not saying "have" they are saying "halve". Since they sound pretty much the same,(well, maybe exactly) I can understand why you think they are saying "have".peacock2121 wrote:Why do they say HAVE!?!
That is even more bad than thinking it's half and saying have.

But, if you're pretentious like me, you give a little to the "l," which I also do when saying "calm." Beloved Son gets on my case because he can hear me pronounce the "h" in "wh" at the beginning of words, so"what" comes out "whaht," instead of "wut."
It's just me trying to eradicate any vestige of a Long Island accent.
I am about 25% sure of this.

How does [whaht] sound the "h"? The distinction you made seems to be more of the use of \ä\ instead of the schwa.nitrah55 wrote:TheCalvinator24 wrote:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/halve

I also do not think I speak pretentiously.
I just give the L a little love when I save halve. Almost feels like I might choke on a bit of spit.
