Suppose I have a company named H.A.E

Should my production be called An H.A.E production or A H.A.E production? Is the letter H being pronounced as 'eich' or 'heich' in BrE? I think it's with silent H

Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".

So it's called An H.A.E?

In standard English and (on the whole) in southern English, people say "aitch"; but in northern English, you often hear "haitch".

(And in Northern Ireland, Protestants usually say "aitch", and Catholics "haitch".)
