For clarification I consulted reference material on the issue,
and though I would rather not waste 1000 gold on this post, I
thought I would clarify the issue.
On some "continents", words such as "herb", "honor" etc use
silent h's, whilst on other "continents" it is not often used.
The acceptence of using "an" or "a" in relation to pronunciation
also varies from "continent" to "continent".
So before everyone starts cutting throats over the issue
bear in mind that depending where your home land is, you'll
have a different view on the subject. Though personally I think
it's bad form to use "an" infront of a word that starts with
a vowel *g* Or just pure laziness.
