H.
Habitue (Fr. habitué)—ä-bĭt-u-ā´, not hăb-it-u-ē nor hăb-ĭt-u-ā´.
Halloo (hal-lōō´), holla (hŏl´lä), hollo (hŏl´lō or hŏl-lō´) or hollow (hŏl´lōw), but not hŏl´ler. Worcester gives halloo (hal-lōō´), holla (hŏl-lä´), hollo (hŏl-lō´) and hollow (hŏl´lōw or hŏl-lōw´). It is strange that with such a variety of words to choose from, people generally say "holler."
Hanged is preferable to hung, when the infliction of the death penalty by hanging is meant.
Harass—hăr´ass, not ha-răss´.
Harem—hā´rem, not hăr´em. Worcester gives hä´rem also. Written also haram (ha-răm´).
Hardly. Don't and can't should not be used with hardly. Such errors as, "I don't hardly believe it," are not uncommon. Hardly means scarcely, and the use of don't or can't gives an opposite signification to the sentence.
Haunt—hänt, not hănt.
Haunted—hänt´ed, not hănt´ed.
Hawaiian—ha-wī´yan, not ha-waw´yan. Relating to the island of Hawaii.
