You wouldn’t say “a uniform”.
Why the hell not?
Comment on Had me for a while there
deranger@lemmy.world 10 months agoA United States. You wouldn’t say “a uniform”. You would say “an underling”. First one has a y sound to start, second has a u sound to start.

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?

You would if you wanted to be an jerk about it.
