Ardith Hinton to Paul Quinn:   
      
   AH> I also hope somebody will have noticed that I used   
   AH> "a"... not "an"... with "one-eyed".   
      
   What is unusual about it?  "one" starts with a sound that   
   has a good contrast with, a seques comfortably from, a   
   vowel.  Similarly, we do not say "What an wonderful world".   
   It is an hunderd times more lip- and ear-straining.
