Hi group,

I have a rather silly question that has, nonetheless, been bothering me. I
had to write "SI" (as in Self-Insured) and I automatically wrote "an SI" and
didn't think twice. An associate of mine was reading it and said shouldn't
it be "a SI". (The same applies to "an MS".)

So, which is correct?

*a* before a word that begins with a consonant. *an* before a word that begins with a vowel.

if (duane.douglas) { technologies = asp && php && cgi_perl && cold fusion && xml && xsl && sql server && mysql && javascript }
