I have a doubt regarding the rules to use article "an" before words with vowel sound. 



As per the rules, we should use "an" before MoU, but I have seen "a" before it at some places.



For instance,
PCB had sought a huge amount from BCCI for not honouring a MoU signed between the two boards. (dnaindia.com)



Please let me know the correct usage.

  • It depends entirely on how you pronounce it. If you pronounce the first syllable as "em", then you use "an". If you pronounce the first syllable with the consonant sound [m] at the start (for example, if you pronounce it as "memorandum of understanding"), then you use "a".
