I really appreciate it! Language rules come up, change, morph, go back to normal, etc. It is just so confusing to me sometimes- and I'm a writer! You rule!http://www.englishforums.com/English/WordsBeginning/hdkdl/post.htm#602365Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:04:28 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:602365Grammar Geek3http://www.englishforums.com/English/WordsBeginning/hdkdl/post.htm#602365http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-602365.xmlHi TJH, and welcome to English Forums. The problem you're having is that "LED" is not a word, but an abbreviation, and is pronounced "ell-ee-dee." Because the pronunciation starts with a vowel sound (ell), you use "an" instead of "a." Abbreviations will use "an" if they start with F, H, L, M, N, R, S, or X, as well as with the vowels. An FBI agent came to my house asking about you. We have an MOU with the purchasers. You'll need an X-ray.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WordsBeginning/hdkdl/post.htmWed, 07 Jan 2009 01:04:28 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:602338TJH1264http://www.englishforums.com/English/WordsBeginning/hdkdl/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-602338.xmlI am having a problem that perhaps exists most prominently in my own head. But seemingly, I have noticed that "an" has started to be used frequently before words beginning with "L." Such as let's say the acronym "LED" (light emitting diodes) i.e., "I would like to purchase an LED kit for my car." That is not correct, is it?
