minus-squareClassy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前 You wouldn’t say “a uniform”. Why the hell not?
minus-squaremossy_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前because ‘a’ vs ‘an’ is dependant on the first sound not the first letter. For some reason the “yew” in uniform counts as a consonant.
minus-squareClassy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 年前Yes, so ‘a uniform’ is the correct formatting, not ‘an uniform’.
