    Sorry man, english is not my first language so sometimes I make mistakes.

    But I searched online and it seems that it’s not totally wrong to use “an” in front of historical, especially in informal writing.

      Another user pointed out a pronunciation that helps. Some accents pronounce the H in words more than others, “an 'istorical” does trigger whatever my brain does with the hard H after an.

      Also i only have respect for people that speak more than one language.

      Absolutely no need for an apology friend. Its very much a regional thing as well. But having this discussion im sure someone will learn something they didnt know about the world so in a way, we are by having this discussion helping people learn, and i think its good to learn even if its only useful to others witnessing this discussion
