Well Petra (Liverani),

That could create an upset, in a unique situation.

Cheers,

Equally, not all words beginning with a vowel are preceded by "an". Words=
=20beginning with "u" are almost=20
always preceded by "a" because the "u" is pronounced "yu", eg, "a univers=
ity". However, I cannot think of=20
a situation where another vowel would be preceded by "a" rather than "an"=
.

Petra Liverani
