It just drives me crazy to see otherwise intelligent people use the word "a" where they should use an and some people ALWAYS use "a" and never use an. But that is not correct.

Use 'an' if the next word starts with a vowel sound. If it does not, then use 'a'.

Examples:

Buy a house in an hour. (Although 'house' and 'hour' start with the same three letters (hou), one attracts 'a' and the other 'an'.)

An unknown goblin killed a unicorn.

An LRS... (LRS - Linear Recursive Sequence)

A TT race... (TT - Tourist Trophy)

It would be a honour.--this is incorrect ('honour' - starts with an o sound)

Send an US ambassador. incorrect ('US' - starts with a y sound)

She was involved in a RTA. incorrect ('RTA' - Road Traffic Accident)

LOL. I guess that's right--or as I sometimes say, Daz rat!

I saw something funny just now. My dvd drive is acting up (won't play my music cd's) and I was looking at one on Amazon and this guy wrote a review for it. Now I don't know if he was being serious or making a joke but it was funny (and made him look really ignorant).

new product search i now use -

1) search for 'best whatever product'

2) read two or three of the reviews for specific product

3) place said product in 'tube search and see videos and comments

4) this has saved me from some duds that otherwise would have been purchases
