Ambiguities in the English LanguageA Story by anandboseThese are certain flaws in the English LanguageLet point
out to the usage of articles a and an. An comes after vowel sounds a,e, I, o,
u. For example, there is an apple, an elephant, an ice-cream, an orange, an
umbrella. A comes after consonant sounds like a boy a girl a house and so on. The problem
of the English Language lies with words like European, University and Uniform.
What Language wonks claim is that their sounds (Yuh) are not vowel sounds but
consonants. So we have to use a. What I want
to claim is that YUH resembles the vowel sound u. So it is my fervent wish to
claim these tricky words can be used with a or an. © 2019 anandbose |
