Maybe back then, but now they're more like 21st Century Cohors Reformata/Evocata. The tactics are pretty much the same (minus the throwing of pila) with a touch of Saxon/Norman shield-wall and cavalry and the added joys of pepper spray and tazers. It's getting to the point now where they're more of a paramilitary force than a pure police force. Which does not bode well.reactiv8 wrote:I might be a Hippy, but at least I can use the Queen's English, eh?!Spigel wrote:Drop those Josh sticks and p*ss off while your at it,Hippy scum!!

I thought you understood correct use of the Queen's English.reactiv8 wrote:an uniquely British
Every day is a school day.The choice of article is actually based upon the phonetic (sound) quality of the first letter in a word, not on the orthographic (written) representation of the letter. If the first letter makes a vowel-type sound, you use "an"; if the first letter would makes a consonant-type sound, you use "a." So, if you consider the rule from a phonetic perspective, there aren't any exceptions. Since the 'h' hasn't any phonetic representation, no audible sound, in the first exception, the sound that follows the article is a vowel; consequently, 'an' is used. In the second exception, the word-initial 'y' sound (unicorn) is actually a glide [j] phonetically, which has consonantal properties; consequently, it is treated as a consonant, requiring 'a'.
