A/An and FF

[fire_of_avalon]

Okay, I'll take away all the votes and everyone can vote again! Bwahaha.

[Tavrobel]

Well, technically, we can't ALL vote again, because it seems according to the vB I have already voted. I'd still use "an" because I don't EVER say Final Fantasy out loud in real life. That would just be silly.

At least we can still post what we voted for.

Personally I voted for "a FF" because FF is a acronym of Final Fantasy. I apply the a/an to what the acronym stands for, not the acronym itself.

it's not letting me vote;.; FOOOOOOOOOOOOOA

Evastio, the point of a/an isn't to make grammatical sense, it's to help the English language flow better, so despite what the letters stand for, you should always make that liason action occur.

Same here! :weep::weep:

"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.

Tarv, I am convinced that you invented knowlage. If I did not GOE so much, I would be lost, and need to use you as a crutch. Since I do GOE [so much] I will just use you

[Clouded Sky]

I change my vote! I change my vote!

For Final Fantasy, it's "a". I think it sounds better with an "a" anyway. xD Now it's actually a good thing that I misvoted the first time.

But hes talking about FF not Final Fantasy, I agree that a goes with Final Fantasy, but I still think an goes better with FF.

That's wrong. It's the sound, not the letter or what it stands for. "A Final Fantasy thread," but "<i>an</i> FF thread."

Yeah, I guess you're right. Now I'm back to 'idiot that doesn't pay attention.' Wonderful. xD

I never said that xD

[boys from the dwarf]

i think it should be "an FF" and not "a FF."

my reasoning.

1. first. saying "a FF" sounds wierd and "an FF." doesnt.

2. although "an" is only suppose to be used before vowels, "F" is pronounced "eff". and e is a vowel so thats why i think it should be "an FF".
