[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 52816, member: 2672"] I might have said this before (so sorry for the repetition if I have). One common mistake in applications I see is the use of AN and A in the wrong circumstances. I think a lot of people think it is just the usual think of if the word starts with a vowel it is AN and if it starts with a consonant it is A. However, the differentiation is how the start of the word is prenounced. If it is prenounced with something that sounds like a vowel sound, then it is AN. So some common mistakes I see in their correct form below are: A university (as it is prenounced YOO-NEE-VER-SITY) An honour (as it is prenounced ON-NER) An SME (as it is prenounced ESS-EMM-E) [/QUOTE]

Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
