I learnt in school that your only supposed to use AN when the next work directly after begines with a vowel. There for it would have to be Buy a mx-3 decal .... not buy AN mx-3 decal. But i'm probably horrible wrong. English wasnt my best subject at all.

As you said you only use "an" after a WORD that starts with a vowel. He said buy an M (which is a letter)X-3 sticker. That rule is only for words, not letters that start with vowels. :D

There are exceptions to the an before a vowel rule. Would you ever say "it's a hour from now?" And it seems most people, when saying the model of our car, say em ex three,(phonetically speaking of course).

acually, no matter what it sounds like the "an" rule stays in effect. but i write whatever sounds better to me though...

just my two cents...

and it's "learned" not learnt.
and "you're" not your

while it would be "an" if the next word started with a vowel, because "M" is pronounced 'em' then AN is correct.

The 'a' or 'an' refers to the noun, not the preceding. As in 'a decal', not 'an decal', or 'an hour' not 'a hour'.
Anyway, scroll back up to the top.

yea we did a long time ago
the only time you use an is if it is before a letter that starts with i vowel, sometimes H because it can be silent so then the next sound would be the O.

Hey and leave that one guy alone hes from Canada. they spell there words differently. Ie: Color Colour
HAHA!
But hey im not the best in english either
If It goes fast enough to kill me or do somthing stupid on it then, I want IT!!!!!!
