TheKaiser Posted February 19, 2016 Share And then to complicate matters further...... it's not based on the actual letter (vowel or consonant) but rather on the "sound" of the letter.... http://grammar-monster.com/lessons/an_or_a.htm So...SQL as in sequel is a ss (consonant) sound, so "a" is used.SQL as in S-Q-L is a eh-ss (vowel) sound, so "an" is used.

We're all welcome?! English is a funny language, but basically I'm right, Lurchy is wrong. I Agree We can argue into oblivion about your incorrect pronunciation. You concede. I accept. You, as the stickler for rules knows you do not argue with ISO standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
