I just now read "a LDS" in a post. When I read LDS it sounds in my head as el dee ess. It sounds much better to me to read " an LDS". Which is correct?
Listen to yourself say it. If you are talking about a person...
A Latter-day Saint in Utah
or
An Latter-day Saint in Utah
Or a thing...temple?
A Latter-day Saint temple.
or
An Latter-day Saint temple.
Shades of course will have the formal explanation for it. I don't know how to explain it.

Hi Jersey Girl (how are you doing?).
That's the heart of my question. If I pronounce LDS, I will always use "an" in front of it as opposed to "a". If I pronounce Later Day Saint, I will always use "a" as in a Later Day Saint. When I write LDS should I use "a" or "an"?
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

It has something to do with what I said. Shades will explain it. I barely know my own name right now. :-(

My best wishes, sweetie.
We will leave Shades to sort this out.
