I don't mind 'saying', because people have accents. But written word is 'a historic' because it's not a silent haytch like honour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't say them that way due to my accent, but because it sounds right - in each case. And I'd write them that way, too.

CrackpotForeigner Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Hell is somewhere where people say "an hotel" all the time. I mean I approve of pedantry as much as the next man, but the limit lies where opinion is divided.
