A e mail an email

I see what you did there!

Yes, "a e mail" is a common typo or autocorrect mistake that can lead to the phrase "an email". The correct phrase is indeed "an email", because "email" starts with a vowel sound.

Here's a brief explanation:

• "An" is used before a word that starts with a vowel sound, such as "an apple" or "an elephant".
• "A" is used before a word that starts with a consonant sound, such as "a cat" or "a book".

So, since "email" starts with the vowel sound /iː/ (like "ee"), we use the indefinite article "an" before it.
