"an" is only for words that begin with a vowel sound

so if the pronunciation were to shift again to historic being pronounced istoric then okay fine. But that is not the language currently, I don't believe there even is an accent that exists which would drop the 'h' so using "an" is just plain wrong.

There is a real reason "an" is used instead of "a" that's because a vowel sound followed by a vowel sound is hard to follow in speach "I'm eating a apple" when said fast gets garbled and can be hard to understand. "I'm eating an apple" is easy to understand even if it's a teenager talking (they talk really fast usually)

So if one understands the reason "an" is used in place of "a" in some instances, it's really easy to see that "an historic" really makes little sense at all.
