Such idiocy. Righto.
Here is a link to the definition of asexual. Here is a discussion of asexual v autosexual. Here is an article about a "mechaphile" who actually does have sex with cars.Lastly,
From Wikipedia:
Indefinite article
An
indefinite article indicates that its noun is not a particular one (or ones) identifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker is mentioning for the first time, or its precise identity may be irrelevant or hypothetical, or the speaker may be making a general statement about any such thing. English uses
a/an, from the Old English forms of the number 'one', as its primary indefinite article. The form
an is used before words that begin with a vowel sound (even if spelled with an initial consonant, as in
an hour), and
a before words that begin with a consonant sound (even if spelled with a vowel, as in
a European).
She had a house so large that an elephant would get lost without a map.Before some words beginning with a pronounced (not silent)
h in an unstressed first syllable, such as
hallucination,
hilarious,
historic(al),
horrendous, and
horrific, some (especially older) British writers prefer to use
an over
a (
an historical event, etc.).
[5]An is also preferred before
hotel by some writers of British English (probably reflecting the relatively recent adoption of the word from French, where the
h is not pronounced).
[6] The use of "an" before words beginning with an unstressed "h" is more common generally in British English than American.
[6] American writers normally use
a in all these cases, although there are occasional uses of
an historic(al) in American English.
[7] According to the New Oxford Dictionary of English, such use is increasingly rare in British English too.
[5] Unlike British English, American English typically uses
an before
herb, since the
h in this word is silent for most Americans.
The correct usage in respect of the term "hereditary peer" was the subject of an amendment debated in the UK Parliament.[8]The word
some is used as a functional plural of
a/an.[
citation needed] "An apple" never means more than one apple. "Give me
some apples" indicates more than one is desired but without specifying a quantity. This finds comparison in Spanish, where the singular indefinite article 'un/una' ("one") is completely indistinguishable from the unit number, except where it has a plural form ('unos/unas'):
Dame una manzana" ("Give me an apple") > "Dame
unas manzanas" ("Give me some apples"). However,
some also serves as a quantifier rather than as a plural article, as in "There are
some apples there, but not many."
Some also serves as a singular indefinite article, as in "There is
some person on the porch". This usage differs from the usage of
a(n) in that
some indicates that the identity of the noun is unknown to both the listener and the speaker, while
a(n) indicates that the identity is unknown to the listener without specifying whether or not it is known to the speaker. Thus
There is some person on the porch indicates indefiniteness to both the listener and the speaker, while
There is a person on the porch indicates indefiniteness to the listener but gives no information as to whether the speaker knows the person's identity.

I have bolded the above to illustrate that the correct usage of
a and
an are properly decided by Parliament. Any other
stupid lack-of-knowledge-based questions?
