A historic event or an historic event?

Thanks

A historic event.

If you pronounce the h when you say historic (this is a personal speech habit), then you use "a", otherwise you use "an". That rule aside, many people say "an historic" or "an historical" anyway.

Hello,

An historic seems to prevail in the media, but to me it feels plummy, French-like.
