Shouldn't that be an hermetic chamber? As in 'an hotel'.

I heard that sometimes you have to drop the 'h' and replace the 'a' with 'an' but I don't remember when exactly. 'A hotel' should be pronounced 'an 'otel'  and written 'an hotel' is all I remember. English can be a proper cunt, sometimes.

Good choice plus motels are always used for the exciting scenes of road movies.  Hotels just don't have as much character.

the pronunciation of the subject forms the rule: a hotel, a european. in the old days people pronounced 'hotel' as 'otel', without the 'h'.

Definitely a hotel and a hermetic chamber (anytime the h is pronounced use a).  Thus an honor (no h sound).
Very important in this web based society

Some people pronounce hermetic as "ermetic."  I don't, but it's not necessarily incorrect to say "an hermetic chamber."  I think it could be correct either way.  This could be something that's different in British English vs. American (more kick-asser) English as well.  Hmmm.  Let's think about this for a while.
