Discuss.
Actually, according to the dictionary, you can use "an" preceding a weakly pronounced h

"the form of a before an initial vowel sound ( an arch; an honor ) and sometimes, esp. in British English, before an initial unstressed syllable beginning with a silent or weakly pronounced h : an historian."

Where's MBryon?
