Tell us why you want the switch please?

I’m from the UK where we also have switches, but I never toggle them; so they seem useless to me. We also have the safest plugs, so more don’t really need switches.

The only people I’ve seen use switches are the people that think saving 2p a year by turning them off is good, or my OCD (not shaming, I’m neurodiverse myself) brother would turn everything off at night and it was a pain in the morning having to remember to turn switches back on.

No harm no foul. 😊

I’m confused as you say you don’t agree, but also using an European doesn’t sound right, which is right as it should be a European as European starts with a yoo sound rather than a vowel sound.

It would be a yellow as yellow also starts with a consonant sound.

I’m not religious, but I want to add that the chance of us existing right now are inconceivably low so that’s not really an argument against God.

Thanks for this. It really does help to understand the reasons.

I would say that I always try to preface my unsolicited advice to try and convey that I am not shitting on people or being condescending, as I did here. I do this so people can feel comfortable that I’m doing it to be nice and without any malice at all. I know you said I didn’t do any of these things, I just wanted to explain my thought process.

#1 for me.

You can’t know that just from a picture.

A historical would be the correct usage, but it seems to be a generational thing where some people may still use an historical.

Edit: I was curious and so I found this source explaining more about the usage

No problem. Thank you for being receptive to my comment.

Sometimes people get mad, and I don’t get why as I love to learn new things and it may help other people who may be non-native speakers to learn the quirks of English.

I only do this as I like to learn new things myself and appreciate if people correct me.

You made a mistake in choosing to use an over a.

The way you can decide which one to use is by looking at the proceeding words first syllable sound. If it has a vowel sound you use an if it doesn’t, then you use a. It’s important to note it’s vowel sound and not just a vowel.

Examples:

• A teacher
• An apple
• A car
• An hour (note it starts with a vowel sound, but not a vowel)
• A US company
• An excellent teacher
