I disagree. I believe that "user" is an exception to the rule due to its pronunciation, much like the word "honest". You don't, or shouldn't, say "a honest mistake". It should be "an honest mistake". If you actually say "an user" it sounds off, whereas saying "a user" sounds much better. I could be wrong, but I'm rather confident that it was fine as is.
And if I saw you dancing, I would spin you around, spin you around, turn your world upside down

That was Redheim's point, wasn't it?

No @ Runemaster.

She was saying that "an" goes before a vowel, (a, e, i, o, u) so if you want to get technical, it would be "an" User, but people prnounce it "a user". Either way, nobody really cares.

I think I misunderstood Redheim's original post. I thought he was saying that it should be "an user". If that was not the case, then I apologize.

No. Chris said that it was an exception, right? That's why I said it was your point.

Oh, all this misunderstandings! V^_^

Alright we're leaving it as "an" regardless of if that's right or not.
