Edited an article with the text "a HR meeting" and left the "a" intact. In Irish English the name of the letter H is aspirated: "haitch" rather than "aitch".
This is deeply controversial in some quarters, as I reported here: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/an-aitch-or-a-haitch-lets-ear-it/
