yup, it's all about the sound of the following word. It just makes it flow better. It's something that can really be difficult for non-native speakers. For instance we say AN hour, even though hour starts with an h because it pronounced a??r. Since the starting sound is vowel we use an, regardless of whether or not the spelling of the word starts with a vowel. English is one of the least phonetically written languages on the planet. That's what happens when German and French's bastard child is left on an island for thousands of years.

Bad grammar is not user friendly.

AdHavoc, that depends on your accent. For me, I do always pronouce the H in historical so find it really annoying when I see the phrase "an historical" written down. What I find even more annoying is people who do pronounce the H, and still say "an historical").
