Zayin thought she’d put an end to the ‘an’ topic by making it a non-issue. She innocently mentioned, “But is the ‘an’ such a big thing? Even Consonant H gets the article ‘an’ for words like ‘Hour’, ‘Honest’…” “Rubbish!” was Ypsi’s razor-sharp interjection. “Why don’t you get it through your sleepy skull, Z? These are words where poor H is silenced. The ‘an’ is used to massage the ego of the obese Vowel O, who sits next to H! And don’t teach me the importance of article ‘an’. It’s an appeasement policy. A symptom of us Consonant’s doomsday!”
