Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI think we should cut all the people on the Internets who type "Your an idiot!" some slack.
Sure, these irony-deficient individuals haven't yet mastered the "your" versus "you're" distinction, but they at least have the common courtesy to place an "an" in front of a vowel.
Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
Progress--even ever-so-slight progress--ought to be rewarded and encouraged.

When I see someone use "a" in front of a word beginning with a vowel (or vowel sound), it drives me nuts. I immediately think "dumbass redneck" because I'm from Texas.
