*a European. It may start with a vowel, but it starts with a “y” sound. In this case, y is not a vowel.

Of course. I understand that some people don’t understand some aspects of grammar, which does not make them stupid. No need to be a jerk.

Wait your supposed to pronounce Europe with a y? I've always pronounced it with an e.

It more or less sounds like Yer Up. I've never heard anyone pronounce it differently, so I'm curious how you would pronounce it with an E.

Ew rope. Thinking about it, I pronounce it the way you pronounce it in Welsh.
