BTW I'm clearly not a native english speaker, but "a USR2 signal" sounds strange to me, or rather hard to pronounce, and I would have assumed that "an" would have to be used even with an acronym, or maybe there is a different reason :)
Whether you pronounce it "user-two" or "you-ess-are-two', the point is that the signal name starts with a voiced 'y' sound. The general rule in English is that you use 'a' before a voiced sound, 'an' before an unvoiced vowel ('a yellow object', 'a user', 'an update'). -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
