Why do we use "a uniform","a university",not "an uniform","an university"

Good question.  It's because of the consonant sound that the vowel "u" makes in both words ("yu", consonant sound of "y-").  You already know the rule for articles that preceed a word - use "a" if the word starts with a consonant (or consonant sound), and "an" if the following word begins with a vowel or womel sound.\n\nThat's why.  English is bizarre.

"University" is more of an undergrad term.  The "+" refers to Grad School, Med School, Law School, Business School, etc.

If we are talking about public schools, I don't believe a madatory uniform is right.\n\nFor private schools, it is acceptable.

I think the difference between the two sentences is:\n\n- cool cars are something general. Either men like them or they don't. If you want to say just one cool car, then you have to say "all men like this cool car."\n\n- a job is something specific. Therefore it makes sense to say "after we get a job". Becuase one assumes that even if we is plural, each person will only get one job.

"what" should be What \nbeast way? Do you mean "best" way?\n"going" should be go\nto another\n"conutery" should be country\n"studing" should be studying\n"in other" should be another\n"fild" should be field\n"I now" should be I am now\n"studing" should be studying\nin an university\n".?" should be just ?\n\nRephrase: What is the best way for me to go to another country for studying another field? I am now studying in an university.\n\nTry spell check next time. It works wonders.

Because it takes the attention off wardrobe.  It helps alleviate the problems with "I have this and you don't". It ensures equality among the students-at least as far as the clothes go.  But, don't get me wrong, when I was in school, I would have been furious if they changed us to uniforms.  I don't think I would have cared if it had been the norm the whole time.

I don't think there's a special word for it.  There is *definitely* not a word in *common* usage.  I am a native English speaker and an editor; I'd guess you'd just have to say "big costumes like football mascots".

I think  there is a rule about the a/an coming right before the h where you use the second letter. If the second letter is a vowel, than you use 'an', otherwise, an 'a'.

There is no particular reason. If there is an "an," "expert" is a noun, without the "an," it is an adjective.

No, that would show possessive use.  The s after the name is just fine, and actually grammatically correct.

You use "a" if the very next word begins with a consonant like "a dollar".\n\nYou use "an" if the very next word begins with a vowel like "an angel".

It is neither, I seriously think you made it up. Just searched the web through curiosity alone and found nothing but alot of company or school names and those were accronyms. It could mean "What Ever Mate Shushhhhhhhhh"

You're going to have to be more specific.  N can stand for different things, depending on the context.

wow...thanks Jenn for setting these people straight.  "six" is an adjective (it describes pups, which is a noun); "happily" is an adverb (it descibes followed, which is a verb); "Scruffy" is a noun (it's the dog's name, and should be capitalized).

Well, a degree is one thing.  Punctuation and grammar and proper usage are another like your sentence.\n\nIn response to various said people criticizing my english, I actually have a degree in English.\n\nIf you have a degree then use it properly.

Grammar- it's grammar.\nYou know, with two "a"s.\nAlso, in this case, use "their".\n"There" describes a place.
