an hospital[edit]

Spoken by Fulton Co poll worker, Jan 6 hearings today. Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:13, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Geographyinitiative: I had a vague sense that Americans can turn any "a /h/" into "an '" (err, you know what I mean). Certainly "an erb" (herb) rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I've been wrong all these years, quite possible. Equinox 20:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is difficult for me to say 'a herb' (diff) aloud; it also sounds absurd to my ear when I say it. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 15:23, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
