A or An?

[Tdol]

Why?

[hector51]

universal resource locator - url

so I chose "a"

[sooris]

It should be a, U in the URL sounds like a consonant.

[perline]

I'M perline and I agree with sooris

[Belly T]

An, it's u

Dear students, "u" is a semi-vowel;this means that sometimes it behaves as a vowel like in "umbrella","ultimatum","underproduction"etc when an"an" is necessary.Other times it behaves like a consonant as in "university","union","unique" when an "a" is needed.Practice will help!

[nosayr]

it should be "A"
because U is the first letter of the word universal ,
and we say "a" universal

Most people say /əju:arel/ but I've also heard (and accept) /ənɜ:l/. What is wrong is /ənju:arel/.

b
