   So is it "a historic" or "an historic"? I've heard Stephen Colbert use "an historic" with a non-silent H.

      The last time I went down this rabbit hole I concluded these are all correct with identical meaning in U.S. English:

        a historic
        a historical
        an historic
        an historical
