minus-squaretostimanlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·edit-211 个月前Is it? I would think it’s ‘a’, not ‘an’ because it’s “a you-are-el” (English is not my native language).
minus-squareNelots@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-211 个月前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.
