    Depends. Usually, it's off-ten. But if I use the phrase "More often than not" I pronounce it off-in. Don't know why.

    "An historic" is gramatically correct since "an" is used not only with vowels, but also with vowel sounds.

    Please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style
    7.44: The indefinite article a, not an, is used in American English
    before words beginning with a pronounced h.

    a historic
    an hour
    etc.
