Mark, I went to college and had many years of English classes in both grammar and literature. Was going to be an English teacher until I found the pay was a whopping $6000/year, but I digress...At any rate I remember studying the use of 'an' versus 'a' when used immediately preceding a word with either a vowel sound or a consonant sound (respectively) as the first letter. However the usage with an acronym remained unclear, at least to me it did. Do we use the initial sound of the acronym, an ess which would take the 'an' in this case, or do we use the spelling of the word, 'single' or 'set', which would take the 'a' usage? The difference between the spoken and written word with acronyms is still unclear to me.

In any case, I just thought that my Canjar trigger was rare; yours are in a higher category altogether!
Regards, Joe
