Your post made me giggle Tdol, as I'm Australian and 'haitch' has become ingrained in my speech. It wasn't until I was googling Australian English one day (I'm working as a legal English teacher in Sweden) that I found out that 'haitch' most likely comes from Australia's Irish ancestry.
Must have had an English teacher who said 'haitch' somewhere along the line...
As an aside, 'z'/'zed' is pronounced 'zetta' in Swedish. Good luck Ovair!
