as far as i am aware, 'an hex' is actually correct english. 'h' is a special
case for a consonant. i am not quite sure why, perhaps some more ancient
pronunciation of 'a', but it is commonly used eg 'an historial event'.

it is a somewhat more obscure nuance in the language, so i am actually
slightly surprised someone got it right the first time.
