Words aren’t even real language. You get spelled all of the time.

Oh no... you found AN apostrophe. Still using it right and that word starts with AN "uh" sound.

Yes. "Apostrophe" starts with a vowel. You use "an" before words that start with a vowel.
You use "a" before words that start with a consonant, such as "y".

Second grade learning, but you still don't get it.

AN umbrella. A yellow umbrella.
You were presented AN award. You were presented A "You Are A Dope" award.
You bought A yellow car. You bought AN ugly yellow car.

Did you have any luck finding proof of your "exception to the rule" about not using "an" before a consonant? How about the "rule" that you can't or shouldn't use two contractions in one sentence?
'Seems you just made that shit up, huh?

No... Apostrophe starts with a vowel letter, not a vowel sound. Just stop Rob. You are lost. Go back to the first grade. "uh" is not a vowel sound. It is not pronounced A-postrophe, it is not pronounced A-ward. There are always rule exceptions. You don't know them. You act like you know more than you do, you don't. Just move on.

Hell, this is just the first explanation on Google... how the fuck did you miss it Rob?

A and an are two different forms of the same word: the indefinite article a that is used before noun phrases. Use a when the noun or adjective that comes next begins with a consonant sound. Use an when the noun or adjective that comes next begins with a vowel sound.

It is not pronounced A-postrophe, it is not pronounced A-ward. There are always rule exceptions. You don't know them. You act like you know more than you do, you don't. Just move on.

So you are saying the proper use is to say "I place A apostrophe between letters when making a contraction"?

Wow, talk about clutching for dear life to a belief in the face of irrefutable proof that you are wrong.

Bartender: "What can I get you?"
Thxone: "I'll have AN vodka and soda. No, wait. Make it A apple martini. I don't want A olive in that.".
Bartender: "Sorry; if you're too drink to speak, I cant serve you."

Quoted directly from your post.
"Use a when the noun or adjective that comes next begins with a consonant sound"
There are two instances when you use "y" as a consonant: when it begins a word, and when it begins a syllable.

"You" and "you're" both have the letter 'Y" beginning the word, AND the syllable. That means "Y" is being used as a consonant. Thah means you use "a" before "you are" or "you're".
You would NEVER say "AN 'You Are A Dope" award"

You proved yourself wrong yet again. Good job.

Not even close to what I am saying. All of what you just did is wrong. This is the problem Rob... you want to argue so much that you twist shit all crazy then you start doing this crap. Just accept defeat. You can't "win" them all.

You can't read can you? You can't hear either can you? Why are you leaving out the the word "sound"? It is pretty important to the rule and you keep leaving it out. If you want to leave out important information so you can twist the conversation then go argue with kids in grade school.

Man, how about AOC talking about sympathizers INSIDE the capitol building OPENING DOORS and letting people in. Talking about the DC police HELPING the "insurrectionist". She's stirring the pot.

a consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract

If "y" is being considered a consonant when it precedes all other letters in a word or is the beginning of a syllable, it is because of the SOUND it makes, you dope.
Go into a store and ask for "AN yellow paint sample".
Do it.

The "y" in "you" and "you're" is a consonant SOUND. Therefore, you would NEVER use "an" before "you" or "you're" since both words start with a consonant SOUND.

AGAIN, you get it wrong.
AGAIN you think that repeating an error will eventually make it right.
NOPE. You failed. AGAIN.

Moving the goalpost Rob to save face?

A E I O U - Y <--- Vowels : Every other LETTER is a consonant. ALL of these letters are pronounced with specific sounds. Humans have labeled these sounds. I even posted one of your Google go to type searches that specifically says the SOUND of and you still want to focus on a letter itself. Just give up Rob.
