TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
This situation is covered in most grammar books and many
style guides. The article used depends on the sound of the
following word - "an" precedes vowel sounds and "a" precedes
consonant sounds. That's why you hope to find "an honest man"
when you look for "a husband." Whether he's also "a humble" or
"an humble" man depends on your accent.
So as someone pointed out, it doesn't matter what letter "SI" begins
with, but rather how it's pronounced.
Tech writing tie-in (been said before, but I'll say it again): one of the tools
a technical writer should own and use frequently is at least one, if not
several, writing handbooks.
