OP "An Historical Examination of the Pronunciation of H." But would you write (and say) "An History of the Pronunciation" or "A History?"
TEd:
It is a lovely place, but to answer your question:
I just have to quote xara and say "They just taste better!", [thanks xara] when you say "An Historical...". Would I say "An History...", nope. As to WHY , well I've never claimed to be consistent. Gawd only knows English ain't. (Please notice the spelling of "Gawd", I don't want to become the next victim!)
