start here
umbrella starts with a vowel you put and
write an umbrella that makes sense
okay well university that starts with
the same letter so that goes here right
no it goes over here what the hell right
it starts with a u same as umbrella but
listen carefully you say University you
not anniversa t a university so yes it
starts with a vowel but not a vowel
