I have a LED

That irritates me, why don't you write "an LED"? How do you say
"LED"? I say "Ell Eee Dee", not "Light Emitting Diode". So it needs
an "an", not an "a".


"an LED" irritates me. I know the word is "light".


It's "a LED" if you pronounce it as an acronym.


What do you mean by "pronounce it as an acronym"? I would have said that means "ell eee dee" as in you're treating it as an acronym rather than a word and spelling it out.
