Comment:

 Hellooooooo,

 > Also, the choice of 'a/an' will always be based on the word immediately
 after it,

 Always with the word immediately after it. Makes sense, I'll remember it.

 > so it'd be incorrect to base it off 'dictionary' here. In our case, "an
 usual dictionary" is wrong since the word after 'an' ('usual') starts with
 a consonant sound when spoken.

 Whaaaaaaaaaaat? `O_o`

 This I do not get: why do you say that "usual" starts with a consonant?
 For me it starts with the vowel 'u', and to me 'an usual' flows better
 than 'a usual'? Actually, I pronounce "an usual" exctly as I would
 pronounce "unusual". Perhaps that's what is meant to be avoided? `;-)`

 P.S.: Thanks for your help with that. It is a bit "all I want to know
 about english but were too afraid to ask" `:-D`
