Why Does This bother Me So Much?

[dogriver]

I don't understand why this bothers me so very, very much, but it does. I'm seeing, particularly among blind people, a total and utter disregard for the word "an". People just right "a", even if the next sound afterwards is a vowel sound. Every time I read it, it makes me want to yell!

It's not just amongst blind people, it's everybody. And I agree with you completely and totally. It's not only the word "an" either, the whole usage of language is deteriorating. At least to this old lady it is. To my lovely teen ager, well...
