Ask Engadget: What's the best e-book reader? {Engadget}

"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.

Here is the code on your 'Reply' link:

onclick="replyToCmt("11448919","johnny5");"

Surprisingly, you cannot use double-quotes within double-quotes, because that confuses the browser. Please change this code to:

onclick="replyToCmt('11448919','johnny5');"

You know how i figured that out? I didn't even have to use firebug. It's a nice little thing called 'View Source'. You should try it sometime...

End rant.
