In Australia is "H" pronounced? Is the following correct in Australian English? https://aeon.co/users/henry-martyn-lloyd

Is what correct?

Is "Henry Martyn Lloyd is a honorary research fellow" correct in British English? I use "an," not "a," since I don't pronounce the "h."

In that particular word standard British English doesn't pronounce the H.

If British English doesn't pronounce the "h,' why isn't it "an?" I agree with Geoff. I have certainly never heard it pronounced with an "h."

It is "an"

Yet, it is written with an "a." I wonder why.

Because someone made a mistake?

Perhaps, but I doubt it. Here it is again and again.

I suspect it is an example of hyper-correction where a rule that applies in some cases (use "a" if the "h" is aspirated) is mistakenly applied in cases where it doesn't apply because the writer or speaker has failed to grasp it correctly and believes in "better safe than sorry". it would certainly be interesting to hear them read their sentences aloud and see if they correct the "a" to "an" or mispronounce "honorary". It's actually quite difficult read it as a Honorary"
