Well that is one of many websites that's wrong, or certainly misleading as to the prevalence of dropping the 'h' in Britain.
I never hear 'an historic' here in England, or 'an history', or 'an historical'. I never see it written that way and as I say, the only times I've noticed 'an historic' being used is in America. I can imagine some people in Northern counties like Yorkshire dropping the 'h' and saying 'an 'istoric', but that's a feature of dialect rather than the standard.
Is it normal how i say herb?
