"an historic" is wrong and terrible if you pronounce the "h"
-
"A historical" does sound a lot like "ahistorical" when spoken out loud.
Just an observation I just made.
-
Not in my accent. I would pronounce the first 'a' as /ə/ and the second as /eɪ/.

I just saw a video from an etymologist about just this! Apparently the H used to be pronounced different a couple hundred years ago, and it's a carry over from that.

I was just recording me reading from a book. At a certain point, that sentence appears. An historical... Me, to myself: fuck it, I won't read that n.

Could you elaborate? I'm dumb.
According to my pet peeve, this looks fine? I just scrolled past a meme that said something like "download a ISO" and I was like gah, no, it's AN ISO.

Some people pronounce the h and some don't. They're saying it sounds bad to say "an his..."
-
Oh I get it, I guess I never heard it pronounced that way. British maybe?
-
I've heard Brits both pronounce and not pronounce the "h", it's wild
