minus-square@InputZero@lemmy.mllinkfedilink0•1 year agoI know an url is grammatically correct, but for whatever reason it doesn’t sound right.
minus-square@mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoTry with Europe. Its a European not an European
minus-square@tostiman@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink0•edit-21 year agoIs it? I would think it’s ‘a’, not ‘an’ because it’s “a you-are-el” (English is not my native language).
minus-square@Nelots@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-21 year agoYup, 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.
