Error In Olamide's "I Love Lagos" Video Credits? by DikSin(m): 8:08pm On Jan 09, 2016 |
The "I Love Lagos" video is dope but something that looks like a "minor error" is giving me concern about the academic status of the producer/editing crew of the award winning video producer: Unlimited LA. I'm not a native speaker of English but judging from the little I learned while in JSS 1, I feel it's absolutely wrong to use "An" before a consonant in a sentence. See below pix to get a better understanding of what I'm trying to say. Now, the questions is: is it okay to write it that way or not. Thanks for your anticipated edcative response.

DikSin:Dear Sir, It may seem that JSS1 English is not enough to take one through the tough, mountainous terrain of speaking English. Then 'An' in your example is placed before a consonant that is pronounced with a vowel. An Emm See more examples below: An A A B A C A D An E An F An N An S A T A U 4 Likes |

The MSAYC is not actually a word. It is an acronym which is pronounced as Emm-Ess-Aa-Wai-See so yes you would use the 'AN' to qualify it. Also check out the below: A house An hourglass It's all about the pronunciation bro 3 Likes |

I don't think MSAYC is a a word. I think its something you have to call out the letters individually. Something like "An M.S.A.Y.C Production" and if you're to spell the letter "M" it will be "em" making it a vowel sound. #MyOpinion. |

Shagati:'an' could b used for consonant but only letter 'h' but for only words that as a silent 'h' I.e - an hour I.e - a house * 'an hour' as a silent 'h' unlike the second example. |
