A/An usage is based off of audio pronunciation, not written spelling. That's how you can identify bots and A.I. for now, because they can't correctly identify different sounds, only mimic them.

Are American morons seriously claiming they get to pronounce German name Heckler&Koch or H&K (Ha-Ka) in their local bastardization of the English (from England) language? Did the moronization campaign of the right wing moronblicans succeed? No wonder all you c**ts look at thousands of gun deaths in America and think it's based, but get your moronation away from our based German weapons manufactures (for military, police and licensed humans, no American wiggers need apply)
If you pronounce the full name, it is "A Heckler and Koch...". If using the acronym, it is "An HK...". >t. verbologist >t. locutionite >t. anglish speakgooder
I think these morons understand these rules, and just don’t pronounce the letter H correctly. it’s AITCH. AAIIYTTCHH. It doesn’t start with a fricking H sound, it starts with an A sound
Depends on what part of the world you're from, seems pretty standard for people in Northern Ireland to say haitch, must be the same in some other parts of the Anglosphere.
The 'h' in hero is pronounced like 'hee-row'. Using 'an' for letters like h is specifically when they're referred to as letters on their own. Another example would be saying 'an LMG' because all english speakers pronounce it as 'ell'. But, it wouldn't be 'an light machine gun' because it's pronounced 'llay-t'.

Hero is derived greek Hraklis
Moder greek prounounces as iraklis.
Therefore it's "ee-row" and an is valid.

It's not, it's ἥρως.
Hercules does indeed come from Ἡρακλῆς (from Ἤραν κλέος = Hera's Glory/Glory of Hera)
The reason why English pronounces it as Heracles with an H is the symbol before the H
῾
This is called a δασεῖα. It's called rough breathing in english and it basically indicates that a very soft h(aitch) sound is added before the vowel.
Furthermore eta, η indicated an ɛː sound, rather than an iː
The rough breathing is lost in modern Greek and some vowels have been simplified as languages tend to become more simple with time. Eta (notice how in English it's Eta and not Ita) specifically got the iː sound before the 1st century AD or thereabouts and the rough breathing lost it's meaning (but was still used) by the early Medieval Period.

I think you have it backwards.
This is what notrainings bother themselves with instead of posting a thread about tactics and training. How to pronounce things will not keep you alive homosexual.
This should be a requirement to enter this site, or at least this board. Filter out the turd-worlders who can't speak English (and can't own guns)
>I bought an HK >I bought a Heckler and Koch
By the way, even though I know the Germans pronounce it "Eckler und Coke", I will choose to pronounce it "Heck-ler and Kotch" because frick you.
Is it Porsch-uh or Porsh? I don't know, and I don't give a frick. Im saying whatever Germans hate the most
For context
Anyone who says "haich" can't speak English.
Anyone who doesn't know the vowel a/an rule is based on sound can't write English.
aye aesh kay
"An" goes before vowel sounds. Not just vowels. You would know that if you had an hk.
*a HK
Well you are a butthole
Maybe, but it's unrelated to this thread. Also, he's right.
Correct.
Its "A HK"
>.t kraut who has no clue about english language rules
thanks for the input hans
So is "an hero" valid then ?
It's ჰაე-კან (hɑɛ-kʼɑn).
>its "an HK" you Godless heathens
Fortunately I have two HKs and this problem doesn't concern me
I would say an HK, but I wouldn't say an hotel, though I've seen the latter written like that in older books. Standards are slipping.
>"HK"
>starts with an "eh" sound
>"hotel"
>starts with a "h" sound
simple as
ein ha und ka
Hitler und Krotch
ichi ha to ka
Bait or American education?
Call it.
american education would have it as "An H-K"
And that would be correct.

A Haitch Kay.
Well that's just wrong.

It's "a HK" only if you pronounce it in German, "ha-ka"
I think we should range bang Europeans
>An HK
No.

We own more H&Ks than they do so we get to decide how its pronounced now
Don't give vassal states attention.
I prefer to say "ze HK" and twirl my mustache
Hecklers and Kompromisers
An HK.
An AITCH KAY.

People who aren’t from America don’t matter
Are there any states/regions of the US where people pronounce haitch?
No, none of them do.

your seriously dumb bro
Bitch, just bring me an Hekler.
It's an historical truth that it's pronounced as "an HK".
I'm glad your king got cancer.
Why are you glad Paul Harrell got cancer? 🙁

an HK is simply a more smooth combination regardless of the pronunciation of the H
