Assume v. Presume

But you wouldn't say "an save our souls signal" or "an file transfer protocol server" as you are implying that you should, but you would say "a United States citizen" . So all three above that you site are correct.
New balls please, umpire:)

But you say "AnEffTeePeeServer" not "AEffTeePeeServer" so they are all wrong.:disagree:
 
Regarding post 441, is it a LED or an L.E.D.? Whether the author has written "a" or "an" tells me how he chooses to pronounce "LED". Coming from an electronics background, to me it's a LED ("lead").

Regarding the other thing, I presume you are referring to the other place, but I have not caught up over there after a long day out. I regard it as disrespectful to expect experts to read and reply to a query when you can't be arsed to write proper.
 
If it's what I think it is, having patiently provided information to an enquirer I then made a gentle poke about them making their posts less easy to read because they were all in lower case and spaces were left out after punctuation. The gentle poke was ignored so I poked a bit harder, and they got all ratty about it. Like I said, disrespectful.
 
No, it,s 42. And that's why Led Zeppelin were so called because the yanks would mistake lead as in the metal for lead as in a leash. Oh, and it's a led for me as well. @ Rob. Does anyone know what anyone is referring to here?

You know, my Grandma always used to call a leash a leader. Always sounded odd to me at the time.

Hardly surprising if you choose a heteronym like lead!
 
Regarding the other thing said:
Yes I was, but I didn't insert a link deliberately ( I can't think of my reasoning at present- maybe rudeness?)
Maybe she didn't realise it was an expert she was responding to. However, most of the posters, including me, would agree that the use of very poor grammar with no punctuation, capital letters etc. is inexcusable, especially as it was produced deliberately.
