I actually wrote this poll because I heard the guy on Mythbusters once again say 'an Historic'. The people on the news do it too. It seems like anyone trying to sound extra smart says it. In real life, it's less common, but then again I don't hang out with too many pretentious motherfuckers.
Do you say 'a' or 'an' historic?

Interesting! I've never heard it pronounced any other way
I think (or I would hope) that they say it as a joke or just being overly important on purpose. I've heard it often lately.
I think it is like people now saying "the internets". They're making fun or enjoying how someone famous (George W. Bush) said it.
I'm going to use it often just to be silly and join in.
