    Why oh why is this here? – Tushar Raj May 04 '15 at 07:20
  • And now we have an answer. Kinda makes me wish questions were closed by default and people voted to open them. – Tushar Raj May 04 '15 at 07:31
  • I would like to know what is the correct article to use. Is it a or an? Thank you. – Mel May 04 '15 at 07:43
  • Mel, welcome to the ELU :-) we have a sister site: English Language Learners and your question might be better suited for that one. @Area51DetectiveFiction - can we migrate it there? – Lucky May 04 '15 at 07:45

    Hi Mel, welcome to EL&U. According to the norms of this site, questions are off-topic if they are answerable using general reference. If the asker feels this doesn't apply to their question, a good way to prove it is to include links to the gen-ref sites and explain why that doesn't help them. – Tushar Raj May 04 '15 at 07:50
  • Btw, it's "Consultant agrees to execute a structural engineering project (or something)." It's beyond me why any consultant would agree to that. – Tushar Raj May 04 '15 at 07:53
  • @Area51DetectiveFiction Well, I'm not sure (the question is not well-asked, but I would like to help the OP) - so I guess I'll "let someone else who is sure do that". Thanks for the link :-) – Lucky May 04 '15 at 08:00
  • Why do you want to execute a structural engineer? (Granted, I've been tempted to beat up a few over the years, but I restrained myself.) – Hot Licks May 04 '15 at 11:48
  • Please go to English Language Learners Stack Exchange. There you will learn the very basic rule about the article "a" vs "an" -- "a" should be used before a consonant sound, "an" before a vowel sound. – Hot Licks May 04 '15 at 11:50

Neither make sense, sorry. I do not think you know what 'structural engineering' means in this context.

    Welcome to the ELU :-). You obviously had a good intention to help the OP, but if a question is not suited for ELU, sometimes it's better not to answer it (this is recommended by the help centre guidelines). – Lucky May 04 '15 at 07:49
