@cjmyers What are your thoughts on "A SBOL" vs. "An SBOL"? It looks like the spec uses "a" instead of "an". I assume this has been discussed in the past.

Since people generally pronounce it "ess-ball", I generally embrace "an"

cjmyers commented 1 year ago

I don't have a strong feeling about it, as long as we are consistent.

From what I have read, this seems to be the correct way for acronyms. It would "sound" incorrect, otherwise.
