English spelling question...
 

How do u write and say:

"A heart" or "An heart"?

Im having an argue with someone... gotta know.

Lol kinda funny i wrote "Emglisg"... ironic...
:)

A heart

An is noramlly used infront of vowel.

But "H" is a vowel....

A, E, I, O, U, and sometime Y. <----english

H is considered a vowel in other languages, I think. ( Ex. French )

argh i just got confused than...

this confused me:

But i got the H thingy now..

Hmm Y is never prefixed with "an". You'd never say "an yo-yo".

Nouns are prefixed with "an", when they begin with a vowel (A, E, I , O, U) and "a" when prefixed by a consonant (non-vowel).

AEIOU = Vowels

Sometimes you could use an infront of N e.g an N64 :O (Try saying 'A N64' it just sounds wrong)

Oh and about H...
its not a vowell, just a completely pointless letter that they never pronounce

Indeed, "an" is not used before words beginning with "y" but "y" is also indeed sometimes considered a vowel. Quite a conundrum, eh? *lol*


[high]* Rose walks away babbling nonsense[/high]

heat hemp hetero homo hemogloboin you use the h there. :)

and a n64 is correct Short a not long a

Abbreviations beginning with N it would seem are also prefixed with an... Never noticed that before :)
