In another forum, one of political a more pursuasion, the issue came up on the use of the grammatical articles "a" and "an" before words that begin with the consonant "H." <br /> <br />Example, (here is the weak link to trains) <br /> <br />"I am an Historian that deals with railroad issues." <br /> <br />versus... <br /> <br />"I am a Historian that deals with railroad issues." <br /> <br />I was told that the use of "an" in this manner was falling out of use in American (US) and Canadian English, but was still in common practice inAussie, Kiwi and British usage. <br /> <br />Any takers? <br /> <br />Capt Carrales, "an Historian that deals with railroad issues!"
