  • Please resolve a British English dispute for me: the use of a or an depends on the sound of the first letter of the next word, not on whether it’s a written vowel or a consonant, yes or no?

    An EEraser, a YUkulele, an EHlephant, a YUnicorn...

  • Yes. Consonant or vowel sound. Eg. "an Honest person".
    Words beginning with H where it is pronounced, like Hotel can use either I believe

  • Except ukulele doesn’t have a ‘y’ sound at the beginning, more like how a Librarian sounds (ook).
