摘自The Little Brown Handbook
a, an
Use a before words beginning with consonant sounds, including those
spelled with an initial pronounced h and those spelled with vowels
that are sounded as consonants: a historian, a one o'clock class,
a university. Use an before words that begin with vowel sounds,
including those spelled with an initial silent h: an orgy, an L, an
honor.
When you use an abbreviation or acronym in writing, the article that
precedes it depends on how the abbreviation is to be read: She was
once an HEW undersecretary(HEW is to be read as three separate letters
, and h is pronounced "aitch"). Many Americans opposed a SALT treaty
(SALT is to be read as one word, salt).
Remark: Depends on how the words to be pronounced.
