I was taught if the word following "a" was a vowel sound at the beginning, it's "an". I guess "N" is sort of a vowel sound (eh-nnn). So I'd say He was wearing an NSF cap.He was wearing an NSF cap

Correct, "N" is not a vowel. I said "vowel sound" . "N" has an "eh" sound at the start of it (see what I did there?).Really? I thought the rule was applied without exception. "an" after a e i o u. N is a not a vowel. I'm having this argument with someone, and I was sure that the correct form is is "wearing a NSF cap"
OK, I did that. Both are correct.Quick, someone type it into Microsoft Word and run the grammar check on it!
Correct "N" is not a vowel. I said "vowel sound" . "N" has an "eh" sound at the start of it (see what I did there?).
Like saying "it was an honor to escort you". "H" is not a vowel, but the vowel sound "ah" starts word honor.
The first one needs a period, so lack of punctuation makes it wrong. The second ones wrong unless your trying to pose it as a question.
So I say both are wrong, did I win?
I must have been sick the day they taught us this
It’s based on sounds. “She has a one- track mind.”Really? I thought the rule was applied without exception. "an" after a e i o u. N is a not a vowel. I'm having this argument with someone, and I was sure that the correct form is is "wearing a NSF cap"
