Hello Breadcookie,

As far as I know, putting an article ("a" or "an") were based on first pronounced letter succeeding the article, not the first visible letter. Because "S-grade" is starting by "S" which are pronounced \ ˈ es\  then using "an" is correct because the first pronounced letter is "e", which is a vocal letter. There's why people are using "an hour" or "a university", not "a hour" or "an university".

Please help me enlight this, because I'm not a perfect English speaker (I have many grammatical errors), I might be on the wrong side. Is it the article putting based on "grade" not "S"?

Thanks a lot! :)
