which witch?

Distinguishing which from witch and where from were isn't really a problem in the west of Scotland where we clearly enunciate our wh sound. But elsewhere there does seem to be confusion.

wh is often the start of a question word like which, where, why, when, who and what so that should help.

Which one do you prefer?

The old witch scared the children.

Where is the post office?

We were late as usual.

This doesn't help distinguish whales from Wales though!
