I've read that "an" is used before any word beginning with a vowel, and "a" is used for all other words. However, I've also read that a person is not "a Historian" but "an Historian", which has confused me. I've also seen other uses of "an" before a consonant, such as "I looked like an S.A.S. paratrooper."
Are both of those uses correct, if so, why?
