      Forgive me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t the u in Unabomber be pronounced with a y sound meaning it should be “A Unabomber quote” not “an Unabomber”?

        Oh tbh I’m not actually sure, I’ve always pronounced it with the same “U” as in Uma, but on reflection I’ve got no idea if that’s correct

        In a lot of other Latin script languages “u” is pronounced like the vowel
