Donna ScanlonEver wonder when to use "a" versus "an" or which word is correct if your interest has been (peeked, peaked, piqued)? This site maintained by an Emeritus Professor of English at Washington State University, Pullman is what you need! As stated on the entry page, "The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak."
