   What is the difference between historic and historical?

   • Historic and historical are both occasionally found preceded by an, since the initial h in each word was formerly left unpronounced. Now this h is heard, and a is far more common than an (by a ratio of about 4 to 1 in American English). Historic and historical have been used interchangeably by many writers, even in recent years.
