Why Does This bother Me So Much?

[dogriver]

I don't understand why this bothers me so very, very much, but it does. I'm seeing, particularly among blind people, a total and utter disregard for the word "an". People just right "a", even if the next sound afterwards is a vowel sound. Every time I read it, it makes me want to yell!

My American accented JFW says herb without the h, but oddly, it says herbalist with the h. Now is that weird or what?
