We all know the correct form. It was play on words, that's all.

Either this is a pathetic plot to hide all of your crappines in grammatic or to proove that I have no sense of humor, whatsoever.

Grammar nazi ? Bah, that's pathetic ! Case in point - 'an unusual' is correct, rather than 'a unusual' because unusual begins with a vowel. The only exception to this is the word hotel, i.e 'an hotel.' It sounds quaint, but it is correct regardless.

Wheee, more booze needed. :drunk:

What the fuck?

It depends on the way you pronounce the word ie. it doesn't matter if the first *letter* is a vowel, it depends on the fact if it is *pronounced* like a vowel or not.

A uniform - it is pronounced as "juniform".
An umbrella - it is pronounced as "ambrella".

I suck at explaining this stuff, but the word we were talking about was *USUAL*, not *UNUSUAL*.

See:

An unusual.
A usual.

*not* AN USual.

Why AK? Why not some American 50's era rifle?

So it was, damn my eyes. As to the rest of it, I hope you will agree that arguing over outlooks on pronunciation and grammar are both unbearably dry and fecking futile. :drunk:

That's pretty swell, BB. I like it, minus the AK of course.

I think people should drop the idea of trying to make everything '50s propaganda film-themed.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

I like the colours in BB's, however, not the thingies in it.
Makes me think about counterstrike.
Not only the AK, all of them, except for the plane.

But I suppose I am biased. Since I have a logo sent in

Bridge Burner and Gobias, nice designs, please remember to post them in the logo sticky thread in the general discussion forum, that's where all the entries go (you can enter as many times as you like). This thread is for discussion only.....

EDIT: though if they're just 'ideas' and not your finished logo.... carry on...heh...

Gobias' top right design rocks. Pick that now, and just add some more vintage elements and give it a nuclear protection propaganda look, and it will rock even more.
