[quote=MovieMaker5087]Am I the only one who's surprised that there isn't much hype surrounding [i]The Incredible Hulk[/i]? I thought there wasn't much because I thought it was coming out in summer '09, but no, it's this June.

I would've thought that Edward Norton's fans would be all over this, as well as a marketing plan by Marvel, considering they're going 2 against DC this summer, who's got Batman.

Then again, the first Hulk movie didn't really please the audiences, so maybe they just want to lay low until the release date edges closer in?[/quote]

"an proto-" = WRONG
"an historic" = WRONG

It is true that you use the "an" to bridge the gap that would be created if you used "a" with a noun starting with another vowel or vowel sound. 

But since you pronounce the "h" in "historic," you do NOT use "an."

Common mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.[/quote]So are there any exceptions to the rule and if so, what are they?

P.s. Get well soon...:)[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]In the U.S., "Herb" with the "h" pronounced is a guy's name. Without the "h" pronounced, it's a Chia garden. :)[/quote]

[quote=adidasss][quote=Yoda]That I can't say with any confidence. As stupid as it sounds, I've always used the "what sounds right?" rule. I know "a historic time" sounds goofy, and "an historic time" sounds right. I think it's because you don't really pronounce the "h" much, so it effectively sounds as if it starts with a vowel.[/quote] See, I would've said "a historical time"...methinks you don't pronounce the h [i]because[/i] there's an "an" in front of it. If there was an "a", you would........or not.......gah! 

Where's a proofreader when you need one...:D[/quote]
