I met this snotty Irishman who called me an idiot for saying it's "a history" rather than "an" due to there being no vowel sound. Fucking pikeys

Irish people don't commonly drop "h". Some do pronounce "th" as "t", like German, but they would never miss an opportunity to point out the guttural nature of Irish itself, and the development of Hiberno-English from such.

It depends entirely on whether or not you pronounce the 'h' in history. Or maybe Britfags do pronounce the 'h' and are just retarded I dunno.


Anyway, a history is correct for American English, unless you're some pretentious faggot.

*really

'Proper' English is to pronounce the 'h', but historically (and with certain accents in the north and south of England) the 'h' was not pronounced.

Hello, I'm Irish and have never heard it referred to as "an history".

It sounds retarded and you should have called him a faggot.

He's the leader of the Youth Communist Party of Ireland, pretty sure.
