There's a fucking H in it!
Is the H in "historic" properly pronounced in any dialect? I pronounce it on principle (a practice that predates Eddie Izzard, by the way), but I've heard people say "an historic" in Canadian, US, and UK English.

Wait, I don't understand. Do people pronounce the word historic as "istoric"?
I think many people say "an historic" but do pronounce the H.
No?
Do they? I assumed they were saying "an" because they were dropping the H.
If they're keeping the H, that's even more perverted.
