Commit Message

Tudor Ambarus Feb. 3, 2023, 10:16 a.m. UTC
The deciding factor for when a/an should be used is the sound
that begins the word which follows these indefinite articles,
rather than the letter which does. Use "an SPI" (SPI begins
with the consonant letter S, but the S is pronounced with its
letter name, "es.").

Used sed to do the replacement:
find . -type f -exec sed -i "s/ a SPI/ an SPI/g" {} \;
