Where I live the H is usually silent, providing the truncation from the W into the rest of the word, making it a "wooouuuuh" swoop instead of a quick "wuh" sound. H emphasis is blow lots of air out first: Where = "HUUUOOO-WAA-AIR" Get it? Ah, you know what I mean.

do you say HwHere or Wear for Where? and why? or rather Hwhy?

I pronounce it "wear" because the other way takes too much energy...

It depends on if I am out of breath or talking really fast. I try to make a point of correct Pronunciation in front of the students...

But then again I came from the midwest where they say Warshington.

ok, so this REALLY started because when I call the Time and Temp line 515-244-5611, they have this guy that goes through this advertisment first and at the end he says, "no matter HWhat, no matter HWhen." and it kills me
