I have a guess to why H Pile i stead of I Pile: pronunciation. The initial I seems almost silent when saying I Pile. Whereas with H there’s a more distinct sound.
- dpcx 2y agoIsn't that the same with I-Beam as well?

- dpcx 2y agoThe context was the silent-ness of I vs H, not what rolls off the tongue. I agree that I Pyle rolls better, though.
