wait... she had the gift in the closet but she got in an accident while driving to the kid? shouldn't she like had the gift in the car?

Isn't this the third or so time this being posted on here? Not to be rude or anything... Just saying. Makes a good story whether it is true or not. By the way the title just has to be a SNES not an SNES. Grammar Nazi reporting!!!

Are you sure is "a" and not "an"?

I know "an" is used when it's a vowel or something but "an SNES" rolls off the tongue better than "a SNES".

As for it being a repost, I don't remember reading it.

Yeah, it should be 'a SNES', but hes from canada so what do you expect, eh?

To my knowledge, you only use an when the following word starts with a vowel.  So since SNES or Super starts with a S and not a vowel then I would think it would be a.  I probably need to call in Judge Dredd to be sure though.

My mom got me an SNES (or if you read it as a single word instead of calling out the individual letters, "A Snes") and I had a lot of fun with it. She has it now and she plays it everyday.

I guess my story isn't as exciting as the one in the OP.

LMAO!!! 

You are correct!

EH!

Off topic: I grew up in Canada and we do say eh a lot, hehehe

I have always called it S N E S. I didn't know people call it snes as a single word.

Maybe that's why "an" just sound right to me.

So, both are correct depending on how to pronounce SNES?
