I've enjoyed this page a lot, and even picked up one or two things :] Foo 11:31, 18 January 2007 (CST)

A/An and vowel sounds
To simplify, an comes before words that start with vowel sounds, not vowels (as far as I know). So, a unicorn (because it's "yu-nicorn") and an hour (because it's "ow-ur"). :) -- Peej 11:32, 12 February 2007 (CST)

Initialisms
I thought you might want to know, you got the section on initalisms right: "a" or "an" is used depending on the pronunciation of the first syllable: if the sound is "eff"(as in the letter "f"), you use an, but if the first sound is "gee"( as in the letter "g"), you would use "a". Run on sentence.... :P--Dross 21:04, 4 March 2007 (CST)

Lie vs. Lied vs. Lay vs. Laid
Might I reccomend putting in lie versus lay? I have seen many people mix these two up. --User:Albinobird 21:08, 4 March 2007 (CST)
