grammar - A/an uniform vs a/an historic journey

Seeing as I'm new I apparently have to start a pseudo-duplicate thread rather than comment on an existing thread, so here it goes:



If the reason for it being "a uniform" rather than "an uniform" is to do with the consonant-like sound made by the diphthong "u" in modern english, then why do we still have to say that it was "an historic journey" rather than "a historic journey"?
