Toast message
Travis is clearly not a native English speaker or he would know "an" doesn't come before words that start with a vowel **letter**, it comes before words that start with a vowel **sound**. This distinction is lost on IDF instigators, such as Travis.
An hour
A helicopter
An umbrella
A unit
If you speak with a cockney enough accent you might soften starting H's enough that "an" is appropriate for more words. And if you're ESL, you might mistakenly pronounce words like "unit" as "oonit", which would call for an "an" as well.
Bottom line: it's the always the sound, not the letter. This can be known because it's obvious that the point of "an" is to break up an awkward double vowel sound. "An umbrella" flows better than "a umbrella". But "An helicopter" and "an yookranian" sound more awkward than the "a" alternatives.
