speaking of annoying anyone, why do folks employ white font color sometimes? I don't know about your monitors, but on mine it's a light gray background, and trying to read the white text on a gray background is enough to give me an heart attack... or is that a heart attack?

But my question is, do you use "a" or "an" preceding words that begin with "h"? Or is Charles Emerson Winchester III the only one who does that?

An (!) explanation of this is at http://cbc.ca/news/indepth/words/ananda.html

so that would be pronounced "istorical"?

And in the vein of this thread ... thanks for the misclarificationalisation.

My sincerest apologies for the very poor pun in the above post. I assure you it was most unintentional.
