“A Historical”. Drives me nuts seeing that written and spoken. Sorry, but it does.

Good article, though.

AN historical is grammatically incorrect.

Historical begins with a consonant. You use “an” when the following noun begins with a vowel eg A house, an element.

An historical is an affectatious enunciation, someone trying to sound more sophisticated than they are.

Grammar nazi mode off.
