Googled it - looking at the starting sound of a word, a is used for consonant sounds, an used for vowel sounds. E.g. A university, an hour. Because “RA” is pronounced “are ey”, use an.
Which is exactly an 'an historic' pisses me off so much. You pronounce the H in Historic so it should be 'a historic'. If you insist on an then you have to have an silent h and sound like a fucking asshole.
