Name your child after a(n) hotel

All I am saying is that in writing, at least in classic literature (which is the only thing I know about) they put "an" before words that start with an "h".

 

right, honor and hour are two exceptions to the rule, I didnt think of those at the time..... but it just depends on how you say the word, like you said...... the "h" is silent in those words

 

well in the american basterdized version of the english language that isnt permitted.

 

Exactly, depends on how the h is pronounced. A horse, an herb.

 

Thanks Mr. Know-It-All-I-Am-So-Superior-To-You. I don't give a damn about americanized crap. I only care about things that are English and dating from 1900 and before.

 

Yes, anything new is bad! Stop all learning and research and such at once!

 

I think the point was if you last name is Hilton, you don't name you kid something dumb like Paris or Sydney Airport.

 

you're only supposed to use "an" if it's a silent H

 

That is correct! You get a cookie!

 

But Econo Lodge would sound too hookerish.

 

what about someone naming their kid after the continental hyatt house? ehh?

 

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Bellfire01 again.

 

Howard Johnson?

 

I want to be named after the Red Roof Inns.

 

i'm Super 8, myself.
