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. It took me an half a hour to figure out what you were arguing about ;-) Why do they call them a Sport Utility Vehicle? Most are just station wagons. Because soccer moms like the 'impression' given by an SUV versus a mini-van. I think it's more that the man of the house doesn't want a mini-van, so he buys an SUV for his wife to haul the kids around in. The main difference is the height. If you are tall the roof line of a minivan may be a little low for your taste. That same guy would have no problem stuffing himself in a Lambo though if he could afford it ;-) My wife likes trucks because she sits up high but when Lincoln stopped making the F-150 upgrade she went for the MKX. In real life if you buy a (an?) F-150 with the top line trim it is a Lincoln and about $70k. |
