that's the patrician way of saying it

As a native english speaker I can honestly say this rule has never made sense to me, it's certainly more cumbersome to say than 'a historic'. Is to help clarify the difference between 'a historic' and 'ahistoric'?

It's a holdover from britbong proles, i.e. "ann issstoric bloody event guvna innit." or rather, it's an 'oldover.

It’s just the difference in American/British syntax you fucking retards. Ffs why can’t you see that. OP is how Brits would say it. Make this thread in the early hours of the day and you’d probably get 4-5 angry retards from Brit going the other way.

Chill the fuck out, I'm british. No one is saying that its not inherent to anglo english, but saying 'its different from american' does not explain why its there. Why use 'an' when 'h' isn't a vowel?

I always thought of it as a carryover from French.

Probably showing that we are writing/reading more

Enjoy becoming obsolete brits

Of course you're doing more, America is all about excess. But I'd still rather be obsolete than obese.

I don't understand this. Have they never heard a British person speak?

>actually reading shakespeare without doing a trash cockney accent

It flows better. There's a reason why people find British accents attractive and American accents grating and obnoxious.
