Comment on Had me for a while there
You wouldn’t say “a uniform”.
Why the hell not?
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.
Yes, so ‘a uniform’ is the correct formatting, not ‘an uniform’.
oh, you were concerned about a typo and not the logic behind their comment?
It’s kind of an important typo when it flips the entire meaning of the comment!
