In another thread, I said, '...but I did furnish it [my statement] with an "I do believe".'
The "an" in this sentence bothers me. I think it's technically correct, but it doesn't sound like it is. I think it might be the fact that I'm using "an" before a pause that makes the construction sound strange.
Does it sound strange to you? And if so, am I right about the reason?
