Apparently a lot of people think this sounds better, but it's just plain wrong. "An" may be used only when the following word begins with a vowel sound. If you are British and you don't pronounce the "h", then "an historical" would be correct.<br /><br />And don't get me started about people who say "infer" when they mean "imply".<br /><br />Peter K.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163618157375375761noreply@blogger.com
