Thread: A/An and FF

  1. #1

    Default A/An and FF

    So let's say you're going to type up a sentence that refers to an Eyes on Final Fantasy thread. I know you all abbreviate Eyes on Final Fantasy as EoFF. Do you say "a EoFF Thread" or "an EoFF Thread"?

    "An."

    In all cases, if you use the term EoFF before the word "thread" and after you use an indefinite article, it must always take "an" because EoFF begins with a vowel, the first letter starts with a vowel sound, and said out loud as either letters or its acronym, it still takes the "e" sound. Unabbreviated, it's "Eyes," another word that begins with a vowel/vowel sound.

    EoFF most definitely starts with an E. So "AN".

    A thead at EoFF =D?

    But you yourself said an Eyes on final Fantasy thread, so an EoFF thread would be the same.

    I love it when I see an EoFF thread with a multi-option poll.

    It's "an", but I clicked on the "a" option, because paying attention to what you're doing is overrated.

    "An".

    I say EoFF as each individual letter. E-O-F-F. So it's "An EoFF thread."

    Default I feel so dumb...

    I messed up this thread big time.

    Could a Mod/Administrator change EoFF to FF in the polls? For some reason I typed EoFF instead of FF in the poll. Or even better could you close/delete this thread and I'll make another thread like it just not so messed up.

    I'll fix the poll. The rest of you jerkwads stop being jerkwads.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    That'll mess up the votes though. Is there any possible way to erase the votes on a poll?
