I think Moth is elected and Pros has to explain her alternate answer. I'll just sit on the naughty step for cheating Smile

Letters can be spelt. FHLMNORSX all begin with a vowel - eff, aitch, ell, em, and so on. I presume A and I are not included because they are one letter spellings. the remaining letters of the alphabet all begin with a consonant.

That's why it drives me up the wall when people say "haitch" - there's only one aitch in aitch!

Very good, Moth but its not the Official Answer. Makes sense though.
Over to Pros for her answer.

Well, my wrong answer is similar to Moth's. When you pronounce all the letters, they end with a consonant sound (the way I pronounce "O" sounds like "O-w").

OK, then is it that (because their spellings all begin with a vowel) they are all preceded by "an" as in - an aitch, an em, an ell.
