📌 Quick Grammar Tip
❓ “a MBA” or “an MBA”?
✅ Correct: an MBA
❌ Wrong: a MBA
🧠 Why?
Because “MBA” is pronounced “em-B-A” — and “em” starts with a vowel sound.
👉 Always use “an” before vowel sounds, not just vowel letters.
✅ Examples:
• an MBA 🎓
• an hour ⏳
• an honest man 🤝
📣 Remember: It’s about sound, not spelling!
