Ahem. A "S" doesn't sound like a vowel. :-) Ahem. Always use 'an' for words which sound like they start with a vowel, and always use 'a' for words which sound like they start with a consonant. I had to look it up. I always knew about an "a" before a consonant (did that right!) and an "an" before before a vowel. (did that right too!) But I never knew about the official rules about "sounding" like a vowel or a consonant. Musta skipped class that day. So you could buy -a- SUV, eh? I bought -an- SUV. How does a "S" sound like a,e,i,o or u (and sometimes "y")? The word usually is pronounced as an initialism. “I’m buying an ess-you-vee.” Not “I am buying a ess-you-vee.” A sport utility vehicle. Not an sport utility vehicle. |
