minus-squareClassy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 个月前 You wouldn’t say “a uniform”. Why the hell not?
minus-squaremossy_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 个月前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-up0·2 个月前Yes, so ‘a uniform’ is the correct formatting, not ‘an uniform’.
minus-squaremossy_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 个月前oh, you were concerned about a typo and not the logic behind their comment?
