yeah I agree with Jason, grammar would dictate that if you want to form a sentance with "a" followed by word beginning a vowel or having a silent consonant between the a and the vowel then an n would be inserted after the a would be inserted to make the sentence easier to pronounce ... but host ... the consonant is not silent ... so adding the n doesnt make it easier to say infact it makes it difficult...
it was a while since I learned that one .. so forgive any (minor) inaccuracies (and slam me if there is a major inaccuracy in what I said ) Peace out ...
