Best Answer

Thank you, thank you. ANOTHER pet peeve of mine. An arrow is correct. You can use 'a' before a word that begins with a consonant sound. An should be used with words that begin with simple vowel sounds. It is the sound more than the spelling that should guide your ear.

a word (starts with the consonant sound W)

a hose

an eagle

an ion

an iron

an ounce

a European (starts with the sound of the consonant Y)

an Asian

a yellow submarine

a wallet

a university (starts with the sound of the consonant Y)

Many people still say: an historic event. I think the sound of 'an historic' is preferable, but I cannot fault people who would say 'a historic'.
