Claim: H-dropping is a common dialectical speech pattern in which the speaker omits initial H sounds in words, and does not occur among English speakers.
Evidence: The phenomenon is common in many dialects of English, and is also found in certain other languages, either as a purely historical development or as a contemporary difference between dialects. 
Although common in most regions of England and in some other English-speaking countries, H-dropping is often stigmatized and perceived as a sign of careless or uneducated speech.
