AN RV OR A RV

[hame55]

I believe it's "an RV" due to phonetics (?). Most words in the english language that have a vowel sound at the start (not a consonant sound) require "an" as the article vs. "a", even if the word starts with a consonant as in this case. Ex. an "S" vs. a "P". That's what we were taught in school. FWIW....

English professor here...he is correct.

However, he is not correct on "this" RV of ours. It's gonna RD

LOL

I could never understand this. This confuses me more!!! The only time you use whom is if the answer ends an m. My answer to this would not be "I love him". I know its an example, "Who do you (or whom)do you owe dinar to? If I said "no one", would that make it a who? I like math better

It's easy. It's a matter of case. Nominative case is "who" (Subject does it)

Objective case is "whom "(who receives the action)

"For whom the dinar scams...it scams for thee..."

(It's gonna RV, for the record- just joking...LOL)

Hey smee2,

I had to give you a plus for this wonderful post ... I too cringe at the use, or rather misuse of the English language these days and find myself biting my tongue rather than attempting to correct the horrid grammar or spelling mistakes I find on these forums.

You should know the answer to this question being from Montreal - Vous parlais francais?

The French have their "liason" which is the right consonant sound before a vowel sound to make the words flow easily when spoken...

an rv and a revaluation

because the letter r is pronounced with a vowel (sound) and the word revaluation starts with re (consonant sound) and not an a sound. Crazy English language
