Question on CVA Rem 44

Status
Not open for further replies.
Truth is, when I saw the pistol, the tag was marked CVA by the gunshop, so I assumed it was a CVA. It wasn't until I got home and disassembled the gun that I saw Navy Arms on the barrel.

I speak Southern American with a dash of backwoods redneck.

Hawg,

Would holding a BP Colt in each hand help with that particular dialect? :D

Just because Uberti starts with a vowel does not mean you use 'an' before it. It is a name and thus does not follow that rule.

Please show me where that rule exists.

The exception for using the word "an" before nouns that begin with a "U" sound as described below may not apply to the name Uberti at all since Uberti is pronounced with an "oo" sound as in the sound that a pigeon makes when it coos.
If someone pronounces Uberti like ooberti instead of youberti then an certainly can be properly used.
I don't see any rule about not using an with all proper nouns that begin with a vowel, the rule has to do with the "U" sound. There have been threads about how to pronounce Ooberti and not everyone agrees. :rolleyes:

Use a before nouns beginning with u and eu when they sound like "you" (a European, a university, a unit).

Since the above post is from you, It doesn't deserve to be dignified with a response, since you believe you know everything.

For the rest, a proper name does not fall under the rules for English grammar. It can be pronounced however the owner of the name desires, even if it is not spelled grammatically.

I doubt that any folks can actually read minds! :rolleyes:

Please post a reference to the rule as already requested.
Some folks like to dish it out but can't take the return or stick to the subject.
I was polite enough to reference my post. :)
