'An Unique' or 'A Unique' - It's Early...
I need more coffee - If you follow the rules it should be 'An unique feature' - It sounds very wrong though - I am writing this on behalf of somebody else - So I don't want them to sound as stupid as I obviously am...

I like that you even gave me 2 cents to pay him - Thanks..... |
It's "a unique" since the "U" starts with a "Yu" sound

That's twice the going rate. The other half is for your aggravation. I'm not going to pay you AND provide the answer. |

A unique is the one to go with.

A unique - A and AN is not a rule applied to the written, its for the sound of the spoken

Example: Most Americans says erb while Brits say herb. An erb vs A herb and An 'otel vs A hotel .... Fuck it, I'm foreign, I don't know .... |

Two peoples separated by a common language USA/UK I generally use 'a' but an HTML page sounds correct to my ear ... |
university, unique, Unitarian, unit, and the fashion choice of many on this board, unitard all have the yew sound, and they all go with "a". When U is "uh" like underpass, undershirt, ugly bitch, they go with "an"

I wonder if some of you made it past the 5th grade.

Education is a tool of the patriarchy so use which ever one you want, OP.

Another vote for 'a unique'.
"It's a unique situation." Doesn't sound right if said, "It's an unique situation." |
