Two rules for "A" and "An".
"A" precedes nouns that begin with a consonant letter.
EX: The baker baked a loaf of bread.
"An" precedes nouns beginning with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u).
EX: The baker replied to an Anon.
Kek. Here's a preposition joke:
A cowboy was on the campus of Yale and he was looking for the student union building. He saw a group of young men in sports jackets with the Yale crest on their pockets and he walked up to them and asked,
"Pardon me, but could ya'll tell me where the student union is at?"
The Yale students exchanged glances and rolled their eyes. Then one particularly pompous student in a haughty tone replied,
"At Yale, we do not end our sentences in prepositions."
The cowboy thought a minute and then rephrased his question.
"Pardon me, but could ya'll tell me where the student union is at, asshole?"
I would not be surprised at all. For years I worked in an uber fancy restaurant and we had some very wealthy and well-known customers who loved to hang out with us in the kitchen while the pomp and circumstance occurred in the dining room. You could tell they enjoyed being around regular working class folks, liked being able to be themselves without someone hounding them for a statement or their autograph. POTUS reminds me of that type.

IDK about that. Sounds a lot like "anonymous sources".
