Ginger tells me that "a historical" is technically correct,

AFAICT, "an historical" is correct iff the "h" in "historical" is silent.

Eg, "It's an 'istorical oversight to pronounce the 'h' in 'historical'."

Here in the Southeastern US (specifically in Charlotte, NC) we really
do say "an historical oversight".  If you said "a historical
oversight", people would look at you funny. Ginger tells me that "a
historical" is technically correct, but I'm going with what people
(here) actually say. :-)

All the other corrections, in this email and in other recent mailing
list posts, should now have been applied.  Thanks, everybody, for
sending them in.  Please feel free to do so at any time.  You can send
them directly to me if you don't want to send them to the mailing
list.
