Most words that start with the letters "wh" are pronounced "hw," as in "hweel." Not "weel."

OTOH, Welcome is NOT pronounced "Hwelcome," no matter how many folks tell you otherwise!

I have no idea hwy one would say "Hwelcome."

I just know that Hwen folks are adopting airs, they of-ten do add the h to 'welcome!'
