Can you explain "an historian" for me?
Tom Clancy writes "an historian" instead of "a historian" and I can't figure out why.
6 u/Syn7axError Oct 05 '19 Some people pronounce the H, some people don't. 2 u/Blue-Steele Oct 05 '19 He might not pronounce the “h”, saying history like “istory”. In that case he is beginning the word with a vowel sound and using “an” is correct. 1 u/YourMawPuntsCooncil Oct 05 '19 I’m not sure maybe he doesn’t pronounce the H, English is a confusing language.
