An S&W or a S&W

[silvercorvette]

The correct way is SAW

I usually just say "Colt".

This makes as much sense as saying 45 Long Colt...no one says 45 Short Colt or 45 Middle Colt or 45 Extra Long Colt or Opps I should quit and reload some of my 45 Long Colts for my S & W or was that (a) (an) Smith and Wesson.

Therefore I will refer to one as "a" Smith and Wesson not "an" S&W even if I spell it S&W.
I think my way is the proper and most respected way.

I can't take it any longer, between stuff like this, Obama, Swine Flu and the stimulus I'm ready to take a long walk on a short pier. Think I'll play Pac Man on my iphone.

Bordering on blasphemous, but I have to say it... Isn't "calvary" where they crucified Jesus AND the horse he rode in on???

I brought this up somewhere saying that I hated when people wrote, "an LEO".

I always wrote "a LEO"

I guess if you were pronouncing it "el-ee-oh" then "an" would be correct, but I always thought it was pronounced "Law enforcement officer", even when abreviated and therefore always wrote "a LEO".

BTW, why is "abreviation" such a long word?
