I didn't applaud anything... Like I said, English never loved us...🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Fair enough. English has confused native speakers for centuries too. But in this case, the grammar rule is actually clear And Mr all black should unlearn that primary and secondary school version of using A and AN

AllBlack:
Context.
Now show me where AN is used for a word that describes a place.

The context doesn’t change the rule.
You are introducing a restriction that doesn’t exist in English grammar. The indefinite article depends on the sound at the beginning of the next word, regardless of whether that word is a person, place, object, or idea. Don’t you get
So asking me to “show a before a place” doesn’t refute my point. The grammatical rule is still based on sound, not on whether the word is the name or description of a place.
The fact that a word describes a place is irrelevant. What matters is how the next word is pronounced.
Okay let me show you for learning purpose.
an island
an oasis
an airport
an embassy
an inn
And if the place name itself begins with a silent H we can have an Hour House (if that were the official name of a place) an Honest Kitchen (if that’s the name of a restaurant
So there you have your example of using AN before a place
Will be waiting for your response if you still think
I’m wrong we are all here to learn.

Shots fired...🤣🤣🤣... Why are you this brutal? You've now chased the op away from his thread...🤣🤣🤣

It's not his fault that his English is not Englishing, this language never loved us...🤣🤣🤣

He didn’t fire any shots. The op was trying to educate him and he’s typing insults that was uncalled for . Funny how you’d applaud that

AllBlack:
You should have quietly and humbly taken the correction but see how you wrote this garbage with so much confidence because of empty vessel level pride. This is how people like you wear suit and tie and mislead people especially in public places like this.

What school did you attend to learn such? Did any of your teachers even bother to teach you about VOWEL SOUNDS & CONSONANT SOUNDS or were they busy selling egusi in class? What was your score in JAMB (ENGLISH alone)?

I dey correct you and you dey try TEACH me? Telling me NOT THE ACTUAL LETTER? Please, what sound does the letter make?

Show me where it has become valid to use AN right before a word starts with H; I dare you.

Typo? You deliberately added N to A and you want to tell me about Typo? I have been typing on keys (Typewriter) before keyboards came into existence and I know a Typo when I see one. Look at the the distance between A and N then shamelessly mention Typo again.

The rule is based on pronunciation, not just the first letter. That’s why we say an hour, an honest person, and an heir, because the h is silent and the words begin with a vowel sound. Likewise, we say a university and a European country because they begin with the consonant “y” sound.
This isn’t my personal rule it’s standard English grammar the op is correct
The claim “Show me where it has become valid to use an before a word that starts with H” is incorrect. English has allowed this for centuries whenever the H is silent. It’s not a new rule or a matter of opinion.

Has Trump handwriting all over
He even posted about it on IG that he wants the guy to play.
If you are powerful rules won’t apply to you

Hello good morning , thank you for your input. I appreciate your offer if I had that money now I would jump on it immediately and get the laptop of your hand but it’s really right for me right now the highest amount I can raise is 30k and that it self is months of savings accumulated.
If I’m able to get that 70k I will reach out and it the laptop is still available I will collect it thank you

The situation in this country is such that people can’t afford not to take action. I need a laptop suitable for basic graphic design and 2D work in AutoCAD. Please help me with any laptop you're not using anymore. I can handle the waybill.
