EXAMPLES UNDER NOTE I--AN OR A

”I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel”--_Hosea_, vi, 10

[FORMULE--Not proper, because the article _an_ is used before _horrible_, which begins with the sound of the consonant _h_ But, according to Note 1st, under Rule 1st, ”When the indefinite article is required, _a_ should always be used before the sound of a consonant, and _an_, before that of a vowel” Therefore, _an_ should be _a_; thus, ”I have seen _a_ horrible thing in the house of Israel”]
