THANKS
THANKS TO EVERYONE / ANYONE WHO HELPS WITH OUR EXPERIMENTAL NOVELA
I CALL IT A NOVELA, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ACTUALLY A SCREEN TREATMENT -
SOME PARTS WERE WRITTEN ORIGINALLY IN SPANISH AS PART OF A WRITING
AND LANGUAGE LEARNING EXERCISE, SOME PARTS WERE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH.
PEOPLE IN RURAL GUERRERO, DO NOT KNOW THE CORRECT USE OF CASTILLANO
AS THE SPANISH LANGUAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CALLED IN THE BACK COUNTRY,
SO THE CONTRIBUTION OF EXPERTS IN SPANISH IS ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED.

yes, i agree; it is "an" s.
Care to cite a source guys
Mark, the dunce corner guys are not allowed to talk! ![]()
What do you mean a source?
Is this rule good enough:
The sound is more important than the spelling; we say 'an umbrella' and 'a union' because the sounds of the first letter are different.
Remember that this rule also applies when you use acronyms:
Another case where this rule applies is when acronyms start with consonant letters but have vowel sounds:
An MSDS (material safety data sheet) was used to record the data. An SPCC plan (Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures plan) will help us prepare for the worst.

Since "s" is not a vowel, it should be .....add a 's'.
Mar Baker, this is outrageous...to the dunce corner with you!! ![]()
That corner is getting overcrowded! ![]()
The fact that "s" is not a vowel is irrelevant. It should be "add an s" due to the fact that the phonetic pronunciation is "ess" (beginning with a vowel sound).
Since "s" is not a vowel, it should be .....add a 's'.
BTW, please, is it correct to write 'add an s' or 'add a s''
Nice! BTW, you could add an s here "Azucena es la Mexicana siguiendo a su corazon"
ok sure happy to comply
