R is not a vowel, yet we still say 'an rp'.
Yet we babble about grammar.

Don't hurt me, I'm precious!

Because saying "an RP" is a lot more fluid and easier to say then "a RP"

"AnARPEE."

Or

"A - ARPEE."

"An" in the English language doesn't really have any hard and fast rules for usage any longer. At one point in time your post would be valid, but for the past couple hundred years it's eroded to the point where the general rule to follow is "when it sounds right".

Say it out loud. "A RP". "An RP". The latter sounds better, so it is considered more correct.

A moderator actually posted in the RP forums to do something other than point out rules that everyone breaks! *Faints from shock*

They don't even really point out any rule breaking. We're just kind of the anarchists of the forums.

Come to think of it, now that the Man just posted, I need to burn him.

sry doom
