Pressed Enter too soon... just wanted to get a new line. Sorry, but it's my first post on this forum.
My question comes from a phrase like : "...representation of a vector by a / an ? one-column matrix".
Thank u, best regards, Liv.
What matters, @Live_Liv, is not the LETTER at the start of the word, but the SOUND.
The word spelled one is pronounced WUN. So the first sound is W, which is a CONSONANT.
So it's a one, not an one.
