Yup, that's correct. It doesn't matter that it begins with a vowel, what matters is if it sounds like a vowel. Likewise, "an university" and "a hour" are both incorrect.
TSA still won't let them through, but the airlines will be more than happy to sell you a small tool kit containing a 6oz ball peen hammer, pop rivet gun, an assortment of rivets, flat & Philips #2 screwdrivers, and a 3m roll of duct tape. They'll be available on the service card for $28 (please make sure you have the latest version of our app, and have a credit card on file!)
Also, they'll be passing along a new Enhanced Egress cabin fee for upgraded deplaning experience.
The fun thing about web pages is that you can share an url instead of taking a screenshot:

Blame me, and others like me. I wouldn't click
True. But, you can do both
What'd be cool is if when you enter a URL the lemmy interface lets the poster choose an image or even cropped region from the linked page.
I know an url is grammatically correct, but for whatever reason it doesn't sound right.
Is it? I would think it's 'a', not 'an' because it's "a you-are-el" (English is not my native language).

This is still salvageable by pronouncing it as "an earl".
Well, I'm sure at least some person out there pronounces it that way, but I've certainly never met one!
Try with Europe. Its a European not an European
I hate, hate hate that english news headlines don't write "and". It's barely longer than a fucking comma, what's the point?
Also When They Capitalize Every God Damn Word Like This!
Isn't that.. Just like... How you write titles and names?
I think it would look wrong if the title didn't use title casing.

Could I also bring THE SHOVEL?
Torque wrenches are still banned, of course. You could really bean somebody with one of those.
Top, sad but so well put! 🤣
This had me crying. Boing is going to hell in a hand basket. The rate at which troubles with Boing planes are appearing is alarming
