English sucks and has lots of exceptions to the rules. You can't go off of what something should sound like in English.

If you think English is hard you should Dutch, thats a pain in the ass. But enough talking about hard languages this is a topic about where to get a USBGecko

I don't think English is all that hard, it's just that there are way too many exceptions to the rules.

But enough talking about hard languages this is a topic about where to get a USBGecko Don't you mean an USBgecko? no its actually A usbgecko cos u only use add an N to A when te first letter of the firs word is a vowel. e.g A yo-yo not an yo-yo AN egg, not A egg. correct U is a vowel but ur saying the letter not pronouncing the letter, and the letter U is pronouned YOO or YOU, Y isnt a vowel. now bak on topic, where do u buy a usbgecko? online , jus kiddin, this questions been answered anyway

GeckoOS has geckos on the background so unless you say Geckos as "jeckos" then I don't think Nuke would put Geckos in the background of a similar titles program...
that's like me naming my app CandyOS and putting Candy in the background because people like it, but it's really said with a Soft "C" and is pronounced SandyOS... that would be retarded.
Especially since we all know that Sandy is something tasty and will NEVER get confused with Candy... even when you do spell sandy with a "c".

The real reason it's not is because USB is an abbreviation so technically even if it made a "A" sound first and it sounded like a vowel even if "AN" sounded right it would be "A" because it's abbreviated.

This has been bothering me, why an USB Gecko? It should be a USB Gecko, unless people are pronouncing it "ussb" all of a sudden...
It also depends on what English style you have, for example, one of my more classic English textbooks would say an USB Gecko was the correct way, however it sounds strange and most English would say a USB Gecko, although in canon English it would be an. BUT, the language is changing and using a is now acceptable according to many textbooks/dictionaries etc
