[QUOTE="Steely, post: 249913, member: 3301"] Shelia - I used to think the same thing. We had an advertisement at work and they used "an XYZ event" as the slogan. I swore up and down it was wrong - but upon consulting grammargirl.com (great site) I was ashamed to realize I was very wrong. You use "an" to denote an entity, event, etc. "Good" sounds right to me as well Mutt. Although I am not sure I can quote any rules. Trinity I was a dork like that too. I LOVED diagramming sentences in school. The longer the better. And yep, Strunk and White is sitting above my head as I type. [/QUOTE]
