Why is it a university when the letter U is a vowel?
The word university begins with a vowel; however, it can be preceded with the article 'a' rather than 'an'.This is because the first syllable of university is pronounced "yoo". As the word begins with a 'y-sound', rather than a vowel sound, it is correct to use the article 'a' rather than 'an'.This is comparable to the use of the article 'an' for the word 'hour'; though 'hour' begins with a consonant, the first sound in the word is a vowel sound, making it correct to use the article 'an' for this word.
When do you use the word an instead of a?
When the word immediately following it begins with a vowel sound. Note that, beginning with a vowel sound is not the same thing as beginning with a vowel. "Honest" begins with a consonant but the "h" is silent, so the first sound is a vowel sound ("o"), and you would therefore use "an" ("an honest man"). On the other hand, "uniform" begins with a vowel, but the "u" is pronounced with a "y" sound (a consonant sound) and therefore, you would use "a" ("a uniform").Note that an "h" at the beginning of a word is not always silent, and when it is not, you would use "a", as in "a historical fact". Similarly, a "u" at the beginning of a word is not always pronounced with a "y" sound, and when it is not, you would use "an", as in "an unfit mother".

What is the Rule for dropping the combining vowel when spelling a word?
The combining vowel is usually dropped when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel sound. This is to avoid having two vowels in a row, which could make pronunciation awkward. Dropping the combining vowel helps maintain the original pronunciation of the word.
Is the word an used before the word urinalysis?
No. "An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, but not all words that begin with vowels begin with vowel sounds. "Urinalysis" begins with a "y" sound, so you would use "a" rather than "an" before it as you would for any word that begins with a "y" sound: a urinalysis, a yawn. Examples of words that begin with "u" and also begin with a vowel sound are "udder", "ugly", and "unhappy".
