It's grammar time. Today's lesson is when to use "a" and "an" in a sentence.
We use "a" when we are going to use a word that starts with a consonant right after
Example: We will go to "a place"
We use "an" when we are going to use a word that starts with a vowel right after
Example: Do you have "an apple"
This concludes today's standard grammar lesson

a UFO fly straight toward an orca ?
Your fortune: Average Luck
Yes that's correct, though it sounds awkward because the h in hour is somewhat pronounced like a vowel. But yes "a" would be the correct word to use in that sentence
Yep that's correct, we'll go into special cases of using "a" in another thread as there are a few other situations where you use "a"
No, that's wrong, you ninny. It's an hour.
a yperite-based weapon?
No it's a hour, it doesn't sound right because of the way the "h" in hour is pronounced but it is correct
t. le linguistic prescriptivist.
No, it's an. The usage of A vs An is dependent on the pronunciation of the word, not the letter beginning it.
The usage of A vs An is dependent on the letter being used, not the pronunciation. As pronunciation can be extremely varied but the written letters don't change
how braindead are you? this is something you learn in fucking elementary school
There's no need to be rude, it's just grammar rules
Grammar rules that you can't seem to get through your thick skull. This is why you Americans need to stop putting so much money into your useless army and put it into your education.
I advocate locally for better education in public schools, you don't need to yell at me for it. There's no reason for you to be so hostile
Argh, I want to strangle you, fat sack of shit. Crush your useless excuse for a brain under my boot. Fucking bellend...
I'm not fat, I'm almost under weight which is concerning. And why so much hate from what I assume is a British person, why would you hate me for just trying to be nice
