Use of “a” versus “an”
Is it “a uniform” or “an uniform”

In spoken English we do say:

He is an unhappy person

But I never hear anyone say:

He has an user account

I have a lot of exposure to overseas students in Australia, and I am thinking that it is because of textbooks and lack of spoken English that this is now becoming a trend.

Can anyone please tell me if this is correct or not?

It makes me so mad I want to ride away on an unicorn.

    I mention the specific case "user" in my answer to the question that Tsuyoshi Ito has linked to. Also see my answer at http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4700/grammar-check-needed-on-one-line-of-a-syllabus/4701#4701 for a similar scenario. – waiwai933 Nov 17 '10 at 05:07
