By Mike. Posted in Humour, Random, UK News | No Comments » |Sky news obviously do not proof read their main headlines on their website or the editor of the below line clearly doesn’t know their grammar.
One should only use an in place of a when it precedes a vowel. There are obvious exceptions to the rule namely; Use an in place of a when it precedes a vowel sound, not just a vowel. That means it’s “an honor” (the h is silent), but “a UFO” (because it’s pronounced yoo eff oh).
The actual mistake with the above sentence is a missing word (injured). It should have read: “A British yachtswoman says the “spirit of ocean racing” led to her briefly scrapping a round-the-world race to help rescue an injured rival”.
At last something the British are good at.
