"A" vs "An" ....grammar trivia

[Miss Z]

Actually, I HAVE heard "an historic" used in speech, without the H - usually, it is for a more formal event, even on a newscast. The launching of the Titanic was an event that could have been described that way.

In my local dialect I would probably say 'an 'istoric'. Although when typing I still think it is appropriate to use the correct grammar.

It is also correct in British writing, I believe.

Yeah, I was always taught " is for speech, ' is an apostrophe or for quotation.
