Don't know where else to put this so here goes.
While typing a response for another thread I came upon an interesting observation. How come we do not put "an" in front of "One". I mean have you ever seen "An one month sentence was given to". I have been taught to stick "An" in front of words starting with A, E, I, O, U but this is the first one I have come across that requires no "An". Sounds too funny? No such weird sounded notes are needed so one is excluded? Other numbers are keeping One's human rights down because one is...well # 1?
Any ideas why? I have never really noticed before untill now.
