a little motivation required to actually get something finished today....

 

[bc008]

I thought about it... but I don't think that "I'm Not An Pro" sounds any more correct than "I'm Not A Pro"

I am pretty good at English, but I stand corrected...



Ok... here... for everyone who wanted it...

okay, this is by no means "correct" but this is what we learned in english:

You add the "n" only if the word makes sense in this form: take the "n" from the "an" and add it to the beginning of the word following it.

ex: an apple becomes a napple

if in the second word you still pronounce "apple", you use an "an" (you do)

for this example: a nunibody you pronounce it like a "noonabody" so you wouldn't use "an". Sorry if that makes no sense but It did to me haha

oh, and the "an" trick makes perfect sense to me what he is saying is this: put the n onto the front of the next word and then say it aloud. then say it aloud when the "an" is regularly in front of the word, separated by a space. if the two sound the same, then it works. otherwise, it doesn't. "a npro" vs "an pro", do they sound the same? not in my opinion, which means that it's just "a pro"

A little bit of jumbled explanation there, but, I get what you're saying.

I've always just said, if the world is pronounced, not spelled, with a vowel up front, then use "an".

Unibody is pronounced "you-nih-bah-dee". See how it starts with a consonant? You don't use "an" for that.

It gets confusing when referring to something as "MBP" where if you pronounce it "em-bee-pee" then you should use "an". Otherwise, if you pronounce it just MacBook Pro, then you don't use "an."

Yay for the English language!

 

[Wowzera]

From what I've learned about english the use of the "an" word is correct when:


If you pronounce a word and the first sound of the letter is a vowel, if not then use "a".

At least on my english tests, this always worked!

We don't have a grammatical english teacher here ?

This whole "a" vs "an" discussion is really making me laugh. Besides just being really off-topic (I know, I'm continuing it), the biggest reason the debate is still going on is because some people just can't seem to understand why the OP said what he did.

People, the suggestion was not that the phrase "I'm not a Pro" be changed to "I'm not an Pro." That would be utterly stupid. The suggestion was that the phrase "But I am an Unibody" be changed to "But I am a Unibody," which is perfectly correct. (It's possible it could be one of the situations that could go either way, but the second way is the more commonly accepted usage.)

You can now discontinue this silly argument and get back to our regularly scheduled thread.
