Many words are basicly the same in Hebreww and English but are still pronounced slightly diffrently when speaking in each language so that they sound native. In many cases you hear non-native speakers getting the pronounciation slightly wrong. I personnaly refer to Haifux with a Ha always, I write it only in english, but if I had to write it in hebrew I would use a He not a Het. since you can not use a Het sound when speaking in english, and I disaprove of dual pronounciation I will use only a He. I also think this is a lousy subject to spend as many words on as we already have(but I'm good with wasting words). Since I for one wouldn't object if anyone else likes to use a Het. I would understand him just fine. The purpose of language is communication, as long as this is not harmed I am not going to strive to currect anyone.
