A User or An User?

[Lauren]

Since "an historical" is still correctly used in American-English, at least
in certain elevated sorts of contexts and as we don't really have a hard
rule about the usage, I would say that using "an historical" would yield
less controversy than using "a historical."  I don't know about pronouncing
the aitch in "herb" though.  That's just weird.
