Chapter 363: The 'A' and the 'An'

Glad that Man Utd managed to beat Sunderland 3-1. They shouldn't have conceeded that 1 goal though... and they should have added to their tallies... Anyways, I knew and predicted that City will claim a win against Newcastle, considering Castle's current poor run... Nevertheless, the 6-point gap lead is maintained.

Anyways, there is driving tmr.. time to do the U-turns and probably 3 point turns... before heading to the internal evaluation part... which brings the most daunting crank and S course to me... hope I can handle...

There was once in primary school, when my teacher was teaching my class about the use of "a" and "an". So she drew a line across the board and wrote "a" on one side, and "an" on one side. Everybody is supposed to write any word, in the correct column. For example, if you want to write the word "apple", you have to write it under the column for "an" to signify "an apple" and not "a apple".
So, I decided to be smart (at that time) and wanted to impress with the word "university". Judging by my age, I would have thought that that word belongs to the "an" category since it starts with the letter "u". My teacher saw it and pondered for awhile, asked the class if that is correct... In the end, she thought that it is correct and gave it a tick.

An university?

Best brains by the 8-year old me and my 20-30 years old teacher.

Years later, I discovered that it should be "a university".
