Pronunciation of the article “a” Hello everyone! I hear around me in London that some people pronounce "ei" (as the word "day") this kind of article instead of "aa". John hit a policeman. I heard this sentence from (from? by?) a native speaker and he pronunced the article "a" in (in??) "ei". Could you explain me why and which situation I can pronaunce it in?? Thank you Simone
