Although there are general rules for English punctuation, there are differences of style between, for example, British and American English, some publishers and some writers. Anyone seeking guidance at an advanced level is recommended to consult a style guide (often included in good dictionaries) for their particular variety of English or editorial style.

Jodekss: aaaah languages?

I know...thats too much to ask.

Cathaliya: Mister, does 'a' go before a word like 'ubiquitous'..?


last I checked 'a' goes with a consonant sha



correct me if I am wrong

In as much as ubiquitous is not the correct answer to the question, ur explanation is totally flawed.

Ubiquitous goes with 'a' because it is pronounced as ju:bikwites. I replaced 'ou' with 'e' because my phone does not have the correct vowel sound to represent 'ou', though the 'e' makes sense.

There are other examples that follow this pattern. That is why we call a person from Europe 'a European' instead of 'an European'. U understand?

[size=17]THE ANSWER TO DA FIRXT QUESTION'S 'B' WHY? Okay, in English language and its infinite laws, there's a logic of detecting the right answer swiftly to such optional question. The code/logic is this: SISHACOMAPA. SI= SIZE e.g big, long, tall, shot, fat etc, SHA= SHAPE e.g Rectangular, triangular etc, CO= COLOUR e.g blue etc, MA= MATERIALS e.g lether etc and PA= PARTICIPLES e.g words ending in -en or - ed.

Now, if you analyse it orderly according to the SISHACOMAPA, you'd arrive at be. Now let's go there , SI= LONG. SHA= Nil. CO= BLACK. MATERIAL= Nil. PA= Nil.
With that, you'd detected da answer all ready. The full code of doing this is using DOENH...
