AvangiDon't forget, AmE would be "a half million."How do you pronounce it? 'a half' or 'an half'?

In AmE, you pronounce the "h," like a hose." "a" and "an" are pronunced as written, on both sides of the pond.
In BrE, if you use "an," you don't pronounce the "h." "I'm searching for an honest man." (In this case, the "h" is silent in AmE too!)
As I recall, Nona said a few months back that the "silent H" in UK is going out of style. I may have misunderstood.
