@AK47, an uterus just sounds weird and awkward though. I think it's an exception where either is fine?

Hysteria could be fun. XP

Nonono, I'm pretty sure it's AN uterus.

Otherwise, I'll drop English for being a crappy hypocritical language the moment I master Japanese.

It's "a uterus". Just like it's A unicycle, A university, A eulogy, etc.

and it depends on how the beginning of the word sounds. its "an hour" not "a hour."

A/An differences are phonetic, yes. But I pronounce uterus e|u-d'res, while generally I think it's something like yu-teres. It makes sense that I use "an" because my pronunciation on the "u" does not include a soft 'Y', but more like 'ew', from 'new', making it easier for me to say 'an uterus'. While 'a uterus' sounds awkward in both pronounciations.

RACIST FACTS! YOU'RE A RACIST MOD LIKE ALL OF THEM!

The only facts here is that different people pronounce things differently :(

:( Yeah but you can't call grammar nazi on something if it's only incorrect if you take accents into account! Since this is written text, it's correct. :p
