Hello
I'm just a bit unsure: Do you write "send me a SMS" or "send me an SMS". I thought the latter was correct because the indefinite article depends on how the next letter is pronunced. If it's a consonant sound you write a, if it's a vowel sound you write an (e.g. a university student but an umbrella). So it should be an SMS. Is this correct? Interestingly google yields results for both an SMS and a SMS.
Advice of grammar expert appreciated! Thanks in advance.
