Usage of "a" or "an" is determined by the pronounciation of certain words

[blunomore]

Oh, ABSA is guilty of much more than just bad grammar !!

[abzo]

"An" is used before a "vowel sounding" word and not just a vowel. Which is why you'll notice Americans using it for some "H" words.

Strictly speaking, you use an before H words too...an house, an holiday etc.

You could, I wouldn't though, I find that sounds retarded
I stick to the vowel/constanant sound when deciding when to use "an".
