"An" is used before a "vowel sound". "Hour" starts with an "o" sound, so it is preceded by "an". "Useless" starts with a "y" sound, and even though "y" can be used as a vowel, the normal sound of a "y" is a consonant sound like "your" or "year". Therefore, "useless" is preceded by "a", just like "a year".

And no, there are no exceptions to this rule. A/An is not determined by letters, it is determined by sounds. It is easier to say "an octopus" than it is to say "a octopus", because when saying the latter, you are making two different back to back vowel sounds.]]>Aug 13th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/
for example, 'honorable' starts with an H but the H is silent (at least in america). thus, someone in the military would receive "an honorable dischage."


anyways, i'm not big about folding, but this is for a selfless cause. any other individual spending that amount of money on computer parts would probably be building the most elite gaming machine, as opposed to the most elite cancer-research assistant.]]>Aug 13th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/therefore, words like "usable" or "euphemism" are preceded by the article "a" while words like "honorable" use "an".]]>Aug 13th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/Aug 13th 2008 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/Aug 14th 2008 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/51-card-nvidia-folding-rig-can-crank-out-265-200-points-day/
