An horrible misuse of 'an'

Hi! Does anyone get as annoyed as me by the widespread misuse of 'an' before a pronounced 'h' - such as 'an historic occasion', 'an heroic act' etc. It's just too much pomp!

Re: An horrible misuse of 'an'

Ha, I know what you mean, but I've learned to live with either. I think it depends how you say it.

We cover an historic/a historic a bit here.
