Okay everyone who says ‘an historic’, you’re driving me nuts. You say ‘an’ before a vowel or a vowel sound. You say ‘a’ before a consonant or consonant sound. H is a consonant and in the word historic makes a consonant sound; therefore, the event you’re talking about is a historic event, not an historic one. If the word starts with an H and has a vowel sound, then you can say an. Here is an example of each:
Barack Obama being elected president was a historic event.
I hope he is an honest man.
Got it? Now knock off the “an historic” bullshit, you sound like an idiot.
