Pet Peeve…

It’s never, ever, ever “an HTML”. It’s always always always “a HTML”. Read it out loud. “a haych-tee-em-el document” or “a hyper-text markup language document”. The rule is simple. If it sounds like it starts with a vowel, use an, otherwise, it’s a.
If you can’t get your head around this, put an x infront of it “an xHTML document” or “an ex-haych-tee-em-el document”. I’ll stop yelling at you then.
