HtS - I hope all's well...

Given that use of 'an' ideally depends on how yer English is spoked (whether the 'h' is pronounced or not) you'll just have to get used to it. I'm surprised you've not picked up on the others 😉

What is going on with the handlebar angle on that Merida? Looks like something you get on a supermarket BSO

I got a cable lock like that for £10. You can buy a whole lot of rear light for the other £20.

I don't mind it in that context at all- it's just when you hear it said by folks who very definitely do pronounce their "h" that it grates on me. And grates on the printed page for that reason.
