You aint alone there. I voted for every option, I couldn't help myself. It's a n addiction... Dammit, now I'm saaaaad. :(

Yep, as mentioned earlier, "Eyes on Final Fantasy" is a pretty bad example since it starts with a vowel either way. However, I always put AN in front of all abbreviations. I can't think of an exception.

Its all based on sound, you dont say an Europe *insert thing here* and thats becuase of the sound of the Eu sounding like a y.

I'd talk about the content of the thread, so I'd say neither. For example...

"You know, that EoFF thread that states Ken is a ponce."

Except for the topic and polloptions were changed to FF instead of EoFF, get with the time man and discuss the current topic.

I still say "an" fits ^^;

Well, according to English pronounciation rules:

"an"

...because saying "a ef-ef thread" feels very, very stiff. :D

it depends on the starting sound.

An eff eff thread.
An Eee oh eff eff thread.


I'm an english major.

"A BBC broadcast."

I'm going to break the mould and say A.
