Actually, it’s “an historic.” It’s an exception to the rule. Hey, I don’t make the rules, I just follow them.

:: (a historic is correct) ::

Niagara Falls! Slowly, I turn.

“an historic” is grammatically correct. I, for one, am pleased to see a journalist use the correct grammatical formulation of the English phraseology.

Well, we do remember where we were when Pricess Di got killed. In Geneva getting ready to head back to the US. As far as Armstrong, I was bobbing around the Med on a destroyer escort. Or had we already moved in to the north Atlantic.

‘An’ is correct because ‘historic’ has a ‘soft’ consonant sound instead of a ‘hard’ consonant sound..............................
