Shouldn't it be "an historic confrontation"?

>> No.4388434

>>4388423
I know it's a heavily debated issue, but isn't the general usage "a" before a consonant sound and "an" before a vowel sound?

>> No.4388441

>>4388423
It depends on how you pronounce the h.

I would say in writing it should always be "a historic confrontation" but spoken it could be either.

>> No.4388447

>>4388441
I agree with you. I'd imagine that for most people, seeing "an historic" in print could potentially be distracting. I side with White on the issues of grammar, in that, for fiction, you should write what reads and sounds natural instead of what is necessarily textbook.
