I am *so* glad that I am not the only one who goes on such rants. The "a"/"an" situation, as I may have mentioned before, really bugs me as well. I hear virtually everyone anymore of all regions and social / economic / professional classes doing this, whether it be in formal or informal settings. Ideally, I am very much a linguistic "purist" though the pragmatic side of me is forced (and I do mean *forced*) to admit that language changes and that "an", contrary to all phonological sense, is dropping out of the language. *sighs deeply*
