Should you you say an historical or a historical?
"I was taught, 55 years ago, an is used if the beginning letter is a vowel, vowel sound or an H." Today, we do not automatically use "an" in front of an "H", even though I just did it there! For instance, I would say "She has a home", not "She has an home". "An" or the long a sound (ay) is appropriate when a word begins with a vowel SOUND. When a word begins with a consonant sound, the sound of "a" is a schwa, and "an" cannot be used. For example, the expression "an hour" is correct because the initial sound of the word is a vowel sound. In regions of the English-speaking world where the initial sound of "historic" is a short "i" sound, the use of "an" before "historic" would be correct, as in Cockney English. However, in most of the USA, the initial sound of "historic" is a consonant sound, "h," and so it is correct to say "a historic day," or "a historic moment." The original post also said 55 years ago "an is used if the beginning letter is a vowel," but this is no longer as much of a rule as it once was. We do not say "an university" because even though the word begins with a vowel, the sound of the "u" in that word is the sound of a consonant, the same consonant in 'yak." I am 68 and a former English teacher who has taught in several different countries as well as the USA. A lot of the "rules" we learned decades ago were simplified by our teachers for us to learn more easily. However, as we develop, we sometimes discover that the rules are more complex and even have occasional exceptions. Once example of this is the "i" before "e" except after "c" rule--which later had added a secondary rule "or when sounded like "a" as in neighbor and weigh (or sleigh)." Even this new, improved rule had other exceptions: science, weird, seize, either/neither, leisure, sheik, financier--as well as all comparatives and superlatives of words that end that end in a "c" followed by "y": e.g., fancier, fanciest.
