Hey, it's the On Writing thread, not the On Reading thread.

BLame (sic) the writer not the reader!
More importantly, I think we agree the two are different forms of writing; you get different results, which is very cool.

I just wrote "a utopia" but is it supposed to be "an utopia?" That second one looks really wrong to me for some reason.

A utopia. "An" is for words that start with a vowel sound. Utopia starts with a "y" sound. An umbrella, a utopia.
In my non-expert opinion.

It's a vowel sound in "dry" or "fly" or "bigly". It is not a vowel sound in "youth" or "yo-yo" or "barnyard".
I'm a little surprised I have to explain this.
