Description : In standard English, is it no longer recommended to use the word "an" instead of "a" before a word beginning in 'H', such as "historical"?
Last Answer : answer:Huh? I don't remember that ever being a rule. Saying An H' is correct because it's pronounced aych , hence it begins in a vowel sound and so is preceded by an'. Most words that start ... decades), it's only ever been that a' precedes a consonant sound, and an' precedes a vowel sound.
