Is there some special rule forregarding articles for words starting with two consonants? I was taught to use a article when a word starts with consonant (or an otherwise). I just wrote "a mPOS device" but MS Word proposes to use "an". I can hear "emPOs". Is this a special rule or the Word spell checker bug? Thanks
