Yep spooky goings on with the h's.

Ok then is it
a "h" or
an "h"

Buy a copy of Bill Brysons ' Troublesome Words' it answers all those grammatical problems including 'a hotel '
or 'an hotel'

It is 'an aitch' - only Chav's say haitch

Would you say 'a hotel' as in 'hat'
or
would you say 'a hotel' as in 'hate'

I've always supported the 'an' version for hotel, but
'an orse an orse my kingdom for an orse' does sound a bit strange no?
