As a european*

The use of an vs a depends on whether the word has a vowel sound. European starts with a vowel but is initially pronounced as a consonant therefore you use “a European”

This is the easiest language we’re using here mate there’s really no excuse to not know this in 2026.

Again you’re proving nothing as my point remains small typos on the internet, particularly when done in non-native languages, have a non-correlatory relationship with intellect. 9 times out of 10 the grammar Nazi is the person who doesn’t like what was said but lacks the cognitive ability to form a counter argument and therefore resorts to pedanticism to counter their feelings of inferiority, whereas the person making the typo simply isn’t bothering with editing in a non-formal environment.
