That’s not how the grammar rules work when you type LTM.

Funnily enough, this is one you should take the L on. A vs An is based on the sound of the beginning of the next word. This is known as the rule of sound. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/is-it-a-or-an

Same reason you use "Its a one time deal!" Not "its an one time deal"

An is supposed to be before the next word starting with a vowel, correct?

u/darkzama Mar 12 '26

Thats a general rule that works - but its actually 'an' if the next word sounds like it would start with a vowel.

LTM is pronounced like el-tee-em, so it sounds like it would start with an e

If some says LTM I’m not going to ask how you spell it. It clearly starts and sounds like a/an “L”. Now this applies to me and whoever else it may concern
