  feel free to use it wherever you like, but be aware that it's a lesson with caveats… 😛 i *still* often feel the overriding urge to be able to do everything all the time because humanity at large doesn't seem especially inclined to get its shit together in regards to the most pressing problems it is facing – while we *can* do more together, that doesn't mean we will. prime example: kafkaesque bureaucracies that get exponentially less efficient the more people are involved. 🐛  Interesting grammar point. A NDA is correct because it's a non-disclosure etc But we want to say "an en dee ay" because of the vowel _sound_. C.f. A European Union citizen, an Eeee you citizen. (Also vowel _sounds_ A yooniversity. An uhmbrella. An X (ecks) Ray.) Hope that helps! @Homebrewandhacking Huh, isn't the sound in pronunciation what decides whether 'a' or 'an' is used? I was always under the impression that this is an optimization to make it easier to both pronounce and understand… I believed that was the gist of what I wrote. Apologies for the lack of clarity. |
@phryk thank you! I’m trying to remember to bookmark things better
