A high IQ can harm communication with lower IQs.

Properly speaking, it's "An high IQ can harm communication with lower IQs."

If you can understand that.

Funny how the English laugh at our ‘English’ Grammar rules.

Utter disdain.

I thought the “an” went with the vowel sound, and the h in high is a hard h. I was taught that was an “A” situation. Gonna have to go read my Strunk.

“Use a before words that start with a consonant sound and an before words that start with a vowel sound. Other letters can also be pronounced either way. Just remember it is the sound that governs whether you use a or an, not the actual first letter of the word.”
