Thanks Ruan for being the voice of reason, I would say the majority of people right or wrong in your opinion do pronounce it as hay and not ay, language does evolve I hope you're all aware, what someone taught decades ago is not necessarily accurate today, if you pronounce it as ay then you're right to say an, I certainly don't so I guess we're both right in theory lol, why would I need a finishing school Tom? I've worked and traveled the length and breadth of the UK, that'll teach you a little more about life and the general use of language
you know what he meant lol

For example "an umbrella" and "an hour" start with consonants, but are pronounced with a vowel sound.
How long has 'U' been a consonant then?
