This is a complete nit, but
s/an utopia/a utopia/
Even though "utopia" is spelled starting with a vowel, it is pronounced as /juːˈtoʊpiə/, like "yoo-TOH-pee-ə", with a consonant sound at the start.
Since the word starts with a consonant sound, the proper indefinite article is "a".
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoNow you have to convince the intelligentsia how to use the proper article with "history".
- zozbot234 4y agoWhy do we care so much about "history" anyway? Why not "herstory"?
