To be fair, considering how rubbish the English curriculum is, you probably get taught English better in Germany than you do here.

Yeah me too. I loaded up word intending to spell check it, typed it in and got it right first time.

ok then...

i was always taught that if you use "an" in a sentence the following word must always begin with a vowel. i.e he was an excellent rider...

why, therefore is "horrific" preceeded with "an" ie it was an horrific attack. a horrific sounds better to.

or have i got it wrong?

is this the exception which proves the rule?
