Ok, I'm not an English major. In fact, I suck at writing, spelling, and the whole bit. But why does everyone seem to use the word "an" on this site?
Ok, if you're going to use the word "a", but the word preceeding it begins with a vowel, only then do you use "an".
Examples:
A soldier.
A plane.
A president
An army.
An air force.
An idiot.
Sorry to be a dick. I just see it in almost every diary.
I'm sure an English major could have his way with me and my format.
Toodles.
