GUEST,Steve Shaw closet pedant | BS: I am not an historian but........ (693* d) | RE: BS: I am not an historian but........ | 07 Dec 14 |
You're not wrong, Jim. In the modern world I think either article will do a lot of the time. I'm a bit of an historian meself in that regard. ;-) Quite a few other "h" words can accommodate "an", such as hospital, heir, honest and hour. I suppose the trend, at least in written English, is to use "a" in most cases. Sad, but inevitable. |
