    @Lee7828 Just an FYI: When written as an abbreviation, the “F” in “FYI" is pronounced “ef”, which has a leading vowel. Hence the “an”.

        @neiltyson @Lee7828 Just FYI - both "an" & "a" are superfluous. "just for your info" makes much more sense than "just a for your info"

        @Xjumper65 @neiltyson yeah except FYI isn't a noun, it is literally an abbreviation of "for your information"

        @tresdessert @neiltyson yes, but when referred to as a concept, it becomes a noun because a concept is a "thing".
