An/A
Is it supposed to be "A Taoiseach is a..." or does it have a vowel sound at the start of "Taoiseach"? --Robert W King 11:49, 23 August 2007 (CDT)
An Taoiseach is the Irish version, and I honestly don't know how to put it in English correctly. A Taoiseach is just wrong, theres something not right about it :P Denis Cavanagh 03:30, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
- Yep - the "An" in the first sentence is the definite article "The" - "The Taoiseach is...". But the office itself is that of 'An Taoiseach', as it is an Irish language term. We can look at better phraseology to make it obvious that it isn't just a typo. Anton Sweeney 14:34, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

Pronunciation
How about a phonetic pronunciation for the 99.9% of the people reading who won't know how to say the word? ;-) --Larry Sanger 19:05, 16 November 2007 (CST)
