"an historic event" or "a historic event"
The rule of grammar is that "an" should be used in words starting with "h" only if "h" is silent. However, people use "an" all the time. Guilty of this crime is the President of USA he said " It is an historic event" after signing the nuke deal with India. Sometimes it sounds right, doesnt it?

We have to remember that this is coming from a man who uses the word "mis-underestimate".
Hope no one's trying to pick up the English language listening to him speak (or gesticulate!).
Do not forget "nukular"...but then again the Americans have a tendency for making the "H" in herbs silent...
