FTFY: A USB plug that goes both ways A word gets the 'an' article based on pronunciation, not the mere fact that it starts with a vowel. Say it: "a you es bee" See? It has a consonant sound so 'a' sounds better.

The author is pretty obviously either a non-western or a non-native English speaker. Read some of the picture captions.

  That's assuming the author and the submitter are the same person.

    Oh, my bad. I assumed the titles matched. I guess based on our informal English usage comparison, it is likely that the author and submitter are the same person.
