PSA. If you are referring to a singular item, such as a graphics card, you use "a" when the next word after the article starts with a consonant, and "an" if the next word starts with a vowel.

A graphics card, not an graphics card
An AMD CPU, not a AMD CPU.

    This is true, but I'm pretty sure the examples I saw were from Americans or Canadians.

    Just because they live in either of those countries doesn't mean English is their primary language though. Especially for Canada, where it can easily be French.
