    Is it? I would think it’s ‘a’, not ‘an’ because it’s “a you-are-el” (English is not my native language).

      Yup, that’s correct. It doesn’t matter that it begins with a vowel, what matters is if it sounds like a vowel. Likewise, “an university” and “a hour” are both incorrect.

          Well, I’m sure at least some person out there pronounces it that way, but I’ve certainly never met one!
