The university allows URLs as a “person name”, so the spammer bots filled forms everywhere filling with my email and the spam URL as my name. So i’m getting bombarded by “legit” emails with a spam url as in “hi SPAM_URL”

    It’s debatable, technically it does start with a vowel so “an” should be used, but since it starts with a Y consonant sound, using “a” sounds a lot better and may also be considered correct/better.

      Not really debatable, that’s the actual rule. An before words that start with a vowel sound.
