Hello,
Could you please clarify how we should use the indefinite articles A and AN with acronyms such as PM (proposed model), or other similar acronyms which when read in short form (spelled out) start with a vowel sound?
My feeling would be to go with "an PM". But then, when I would write in my publications "an PM", I sometimes get a comment that it should be "a PM", and vice verse, if I write "a PM" then the comment would advise "an PM." So I am confused.
Thank you!
