    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”?

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

      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
