you only use 'an' before a word begining with a vowel (A,E,I,O,U) rx-7 does not begin with any of these, so it should be A Rx-7, but An rx7 sounds better for some reason......

ColinRX7 10-27-2003 10:34 PM

R = "ar"



Pronounciation



Who says "a ar"



That's why they invented the word "an". So you wouldn't sound like a fucktard saying "a ar"

it doesnt matter what it sounds like it is grammatically correct to say "I have A rx-7, it is A fd, and i have have a FC"



sure AN sounds better but when it comes down to it it is incorrect.

Usage Note: In writing, the form a is used before a word beginning with a consonant sound, regardless of its spelling (a frog, a university). The form an is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound (an orange, an hour). ·An was once a common variant before words beginning with h in which the first syllable was unstressed; thus 18th-century authors wrote either a historical or an historical but a history, not an history. This usage made sense in that people often did not pronounce the initial h in words such as historical and heroic, but by the late 19th century educated speakers usually pronounced initial h, and the practice of writing an before such words began to die out. Nowadays it survives primarily before the word historical. One may also come across it in the phrases an hysterectomy or an hereditary trait. These usages are acceptable in formal writing.
