That's what I have been trying to tell him! But will he listen to a me? No. And with the a/an thing, I'm pretty sure it's either/or, although an history sounds old-fashioned (see Crystal quote above). I certainly would say a history but an history is by no means incorrect. Exactly. That’s what I have been trying to tell him! But will he listen to a me? No.

The use of "an" is more antiquated, from the day when English speakers were more anal-retentive about the proper pronunciation of words... "history" comes from the Old French word historie (said with no "h" sound). But yeah, no one will really care now. That one particular rule has always really fucked with my writing too. ;) http://www.jimloy.com/language/historic.htm
