This is a question Little Victories II

I once got bumped up to first class in the 90 minute leg of a 16 hour flight. Tell us about your insignificant little triumphs and minor victories. (Driving a Honda Accord doesn't count).

I think you'll find...
...that it's Driving an Honda Accord. As in driving an Honda Accord to an hotel for an holiday with an hooker.

So there you go. My littlest victory is channeling the spirit of Angela Ripon and the BBC to correct an commoner on the Internet. Can one have an huzzah??!

"H" isn't a vowel.

That's the fun thing about 'H'
- it's not a vowel, but it thinks it is!

You're not an anti-vowelist are you?? (or under 40 years of age?)

As an side point, how many H's are there in HRH? Huh? So obviously The Queen quite likes H's. She's picky about these things, so I hear.

This is perhaps why THE BBC (one H) chose to promote H to the status of 'Our Most Glorious Vowel, Pre-Emininent Above All Other Letters Including Those That Are In Fact Vowels'?

This is the sort of thing our license fee was spent on in the 70's. In hindsight, the 70's wasn't the best decade.

English is a stupid language.
We should have stuck with French.

A Honda
The H is pronounced, therefore it is a Honda. Unless you speak some regional dialect that doesn't pronounce H, which would make it an 'onda.

WELL!
I can't believe how discriminatory you are about people with liver disease and conjunctivitis.

I think this is a deliberate misunderstanding of etymology in order to 'troll' us hapless qotwers, you wag Wilton!

if you are confused about whether to use "a" or "an", simplify your grammar by placing between the indefinite article and the noun the word "fucking"
"let's stay in a fucking hotel"
"I drive a fucking Honda Accord"
"you're a fucking hapless cunt, so you are"
(, Sat 28 Mar 2015, 8:32, closed)
Not forgetting
that if your confusion is allied with genuine dissatisfaction, replace 'fucking' with 'cunting'.
