Am I being irrational or is anyone else infuriated by the use of "an historic"? No one would ever say "an history", why do people say this?

- lojack 11y ago> A historic is more common in both American and British English, but both usages are sufficiently common to be considered correct. http://www.betterwritingskills.com/tip-w005.html http://www.betterwritingskills.com/tip-w005.html
- noblethrasher 11y agoI'm sure that I am in the minority, but for some reason "a historic" sounds like it should be an adjective meaning "non-historic" (like "apolitical" or "amoral").
