I have been taught using "an" in front of a word beginning with an "h" is the proper usage, such as "an historic event".<br /><br />Using "a" in front of an "h" word is as grating on my ears as the pronunciation of "the" as "thuh" when used in front of an "h" word or a word that begins with a vowel.North of 50https://www.blogger.com/profile/07049744141322448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817631728719088811.post-10303853013528233732011-01-20T21:46:12.547-05:002011-01-20T21:46:12.547-05:00If you add a '1' and a '9' they eq...If you add a '1' and a '9' they equal ten. A fine round number indeed. <br /><br />And I fine it interesting that you picked 'an' harmonic convergence although in this case either would have worked.
