I hear the Titan submersible billionaires are alive but trapped in an underwater cave. Elon should go save him in his trapped-Thai-children submarine.

In short: it's not the letter, it's the first sound that dictates "a" vs "an".

Example:

a uniform

an underling

European is pronounced with a Y sound at the start of the word. Hence no "an"

So some kind of intelligence was involved in designing at least one of those. 👍

OTOH, Chinese EV market share is on the rise...

Let's hope more, small and cheap EVs are coming from the European car makers. A.k.a. the Twingo, a small Panda and the ID1 and ID2

It must be so embarrassing to drive one of those ugly plastic things around. Good riddance.

Completely off topic, but why does "an European" sound wrong? Like I've always said "an American" but never "an United States citizen" and it just doesn't sound right.
