Middle Earth epitaph
A friend (who wishes to remain anonymous) spontaneously came up with this joke which cracked us up: What is written about people in Middle Earth when they die?
Are you from the U.K. because we never use "an" in front of a word starting with a pronounced "h" here in the United States. And you definitely pronounce the "h" in "hobbituary".
...oh, how 'troll' :)
ReplyDeleteAn Hobbituary, if you please.
ReplyDelete'An' precedes vowels (and sometimes/usually h, because it's a pseudo-vowel)
an orange, an apple, an idiot, an obituary
but strict grammar is all about the exceptions too, and h is full of the exceptions, because it doesn't quite fit.
ps: love the blog. keep up the good work
