Excellent point. Which I prefer to studiously avoid because I am an habitual guilty party.

("A habitual" or "an habitual"?)

Regional variants, I think. I always say "a habitual," because I would say "a habit." However, the contraction "an 'abitual" doesn't make my fillings fibrate, so it's not a true error such as "nucular" or "mischievious."
