Orton's Arm Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 i'm pretty sure I used the proper grammar there. I believe the word historic SHOULD be preceded by AN not A. 497212[/snapback] You are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 A co-worker Pats fan tried to convince me to root for the Pats tonight, citing how it would be rooting against Peyton Manning. I'm not a Peyton fan, either, but root for the Pats? No dice, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the word historic SHOULD be preceded by AN not A. 497212[/snapback] I was ripped a new plug hole for using historic, preceded by "an" instead of "a". I was accused of being pompous and pretentious or some such pap. We all know I am just plain ignerant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 "Tonight is an historic night!!!" 497207[/snapback] "A" historic night. The rule is: if the beginning "h" is pronounced, as in "house" or "historic" or "hobbit", use "a". If it's not pronounced ("honor", "Hermitage"), use "an". So it is, in fact, a historic night, but an honor to watch a hero like Bruschi (We're not worthy!). Yes, I know most of you think I'm making this up. I'm not. That is the actual grammatical rule of English. The alternative ("an history"), is bull sh-- made up by idiots who have nothing better to do with their time.

The alternative ("an history"), is bull sh-- made up by idiots who have nothing better to do with their time. 497394[/snapback] The alternative--an history--has its roots in the Norman conquest and the resulting mix between French and English. The letter H tends to be silent in French. This resulted in a situation where, in English, the letter H is sometimes treated as silent for a/an purposes even when the H is pronounced.
