The university allows URLs as a “person name”, so the spammer bots filled forms everywhere filling with my email and the spam URL as my name. So i’m getting bombarded by “legit” emails with a spam url as in “hi SPAM_URL”

    ‘An’ is used before any vowel. An opposite, an electrician, an icehouse, an apple.

      Yes, but no. Your rule is correct, but the application of it isn’t. “An” is used for vowel sounds.
      University (you-knee-ver-city), UFO (you-eff-ooh) use “a”, while honorable (on-oohr-a-bul) uses “an”.
      Confusing language for sure.
