Exuberant thanks
Good point, and great timing as I'm in the process of attempting to work out some rules. Exuberance is pronounced more like egg-uberance then X-uberance so "an exuberance" would be correct. Similar with extent (ig-stent). Sun Creator(talk) 16:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Cheers. I thought there must be a logical reason for it.  Esowteric + Talk  16:02, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * One that I keep coming across is people's insistence on saying or writing "an historic". Personally, I use "an" if the "h" is silent and "a" if it is sounded. Thus "a historic occasion" and "an honest man".  Esowteric + Talk  16:06, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree and would use 'a historic' myself, but some speakers drop the 'h' (H-dropping) and say 'istoric', hence that specific combination is generally left unchanged on Wikipedia. Sun Creator(talk) 23:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
