The exception, which is not really an exception, is that words that start with a vowel but are *pronounced* with a consonant sound, use A, not AN. This is actually the rule: AN precedes words that begin with a vowel sound (not a vowel).

It is one of the weird rules of grammar found in English.One way to figure out if the last letter needs to be doubled is to check the last three letters of the word. If they are constant-vowel-constant then the last letter of the word needs to be doubled.For example, in commit - m is a constant, i is a vowel and t is a constant - therefore the t becomes tt when you add a suffix.However, with await - a is a vowel - so it doesn't fit the rule and you don't change the t to tt.This only works if the suffix begins with a vowel; -ed, - er, -ing, etc.It is also only a general rule - there are many exceptions - such as happened and visited.
The vowel "u" in "rule" is considered a long vowel because it says its name (pronounced like "you").
