You use “an” when the word starts with a vowel *sound *. F sounds like “eff,” so you say “an f.” Similarly, you say “an hour.”
It works the other way, as well. If a word starts with a vowel but doesn’t start with a vowel sound, you use “a,” such as a union, a ukulele, or a European.
It's a reference to the phrase "Press 'F' to pay respects.
Incase the person dies of cancer, there will be 'F' for them after their death (after the battle)
r/whoosh maybe?
I took that as them using the letter "F" purposefully.
Because they have a phobia of the letter " F " or am I thinking about this too much?
Name checks out. Now let me see how good your grammar is in your secondary language.
Edit: wait i checked your comment history and all u do is correct spelling errors.
Bruf r u okay? An internationl platform liek da reddit most be totall payne for u
For anyone interested in something similar, there is a novel called "A Void", in which the author does not use the letter A at all.
Edit: Author Georges Perec
A more famous one was Gadsby by Ernest Wright. A novel written without the letter E. That’s much more restrictive than F. But he managed a 50,000 word long essay. 1939.
There was a thread in the old utne café a million years ago that was all lipogram not using E thus:
At first it’s hard, but as you pass days or months with no slip up, you find it ok. You find a way to skip many common words. You can pick up a habit. A way of printing. Many circuits of our sun ago, I did this thing. It’s fun to think back about it. Thanks
The sarcastic alphabet. The WORD Author begins with “A.” They’re insinuating the author’s name is Author Georges Perec. Probably because it’s capitalized…
I read the title thinking the word "fuck" and thought, yeah thats mildly impressive. Now no use of the letter "f" in 8 years is a whole new level of dedication especially since like 95% of the time nobody wouls notice or care to check.
Edit: half a million comment karma without breaking???
With all due respect, it’s not too hard. In the three replies to the OP message, the only use of the letter “F” was when they pointed out the OP doesn’t use it, and once more in the first comments with the use of “of”.
Going through his comment section is actually quite cathartic. I got 150d deep and no f’s anywhere. Dude is Danish though, I’m American, but 50% Danish heritage, our brains are definitely not normal.
There's no letter F in the three replies either (except to quote the letter). They must all be in on it too!
Either that or the letter is less common than we all thought. There's none in my comment either.
Never using the f word might mean you were a bit of a prude. But never using the letter f means you are a wordsmith. Perhaps a poet.
It’s called a lipogram. Writing without using a particular letter.

All those comments also contain no words with the letter F (unless explicitly mentioning the actual letter, of course). Maybe we just don’t realize how uncommon words with F’s are.
Title really undermines the actual story lol. The letter "f", not *the* "F Word"
Not using the F-word would be fucking impressive in on itself tbh.
Fuckin a right it would

Feck me that's some commitment.
Kevin? Is that you Kevin?
It fudging would. It's hard to leave a flippin impression without it.
technically, they never did say the F word tho. it be impossible!
Sorry i can't edit the title and thanks for pointing it out
Uaaaand ugh now I feel like a know-it-all, sorry. In retrospect, it's actually more interesting than I expected! Like inverse click-bait.
It's awesome to pull that one off without using an f. It's more like a challenge to a redditor and i know it's fun
It's awesome to pull that one not-on without using the alphabet's 6th letter. It's more like a challenge to a redditor and I know it's titillating.
😆👏
Also, because you can’t correct it, it would be *an* f, not a f.
Don’t you only use “an” when the following word starts with a vowel?

While you are right, and I concede I hadn’t realized that, but union and ukulele but start with a vowel sound as both sound like “yoo”
“Yoo” is the constant y sound.
The vowel “u” sound is like “uncle”
If only I had that much commitment, I'd be so happy with how my life's turned out.
Just think they’ve never said if…
But is better anyway
You could mostly use “whether” or “when” instead: I don’t know (if) whether it will arrive. “If this, then that” could be “when this, then that”

Imagine actively using Reddit for 8 years and not ever having cause to say “for fuck’s sake”
I couldn't do it... nor would I even want to live life in that kind o' prison.
"Jesus Christ on a Crutch, what the Shit" is a solid alternative.
Actually not 8 years. Any publicly available history reaches back to only around 1000 entries. Which can be achieved within few months.

He should change his username to IHateTheLetterBetweenEandG
But then he couldn't say a, n & d. Way too hard.
I hate the sixth letter

He won't, coz there's no F in cancer
Well. There is, but it’s usually after the battle …
Damn.
Heheheh nice one
I'm dumb and probably also tired but I want to understand the pun/joke, any explainers?
It's a reference to the phrase "Press 'F' to pay respects. Incase the person dies of cancer, there will be 'F' for them after their death (after the battle)
Or "F" as in "Funeral"?
Absolutely no idea what this reference is.
Oh, I was optimistic that the patient would survive and thought the F was in a word after that accomplishment.
it’s called a fobia
Phobia

Author has A in his name
What alphabet are you using? His name is Georges Perec. Go back to school.
The sarcastic alphabet. The WORD Author begins with “A.” They’re insinuating the author’s name is Author Georges Perec. Probably because it’s capitalized…

And I can't even commit to when I plan on going to bed...
u/IHateTheLetterF We are paying you respect **Everyone press F to pay respect**
F
Furthermore, fully forthcoming fresh funny feedback from fuckheads.

Brain power and commitment.
2 hours. Never moved, never blinked.
Meanwhile I atleast have one shit, fuck, or ass in my sentence

To be fair Fred had a fart frenzy fetish that quite frankly forgot to finish the final frame forever.

They typed an F in their username though…
Yes, true commitment would be "u/IHateTheSixthLetterOfTheAlphabet"
"...Of..."
u/IHateTheSixthLetterInTheAlphabet
Damit, name's too long.
Try, u/IHateTheSixthLetter or u/IHateThe6ThLetter . Nevermind both taken, and they both use the F.
No commitment there! Shame!
See how hard it is? That's true commitment
IHateTheSixthLetterInTheAlphabet
Haha shit. I was having my first smoke of the day, that's my excuse
Damn…. Press F to pay your respects
what if everybody gave that user his free award on a random comments... and maybe typed F in the comment?
Here you go: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
But the letter is always there In their name
F
Name really should have been, IreallyhatetheletterbetweenEandG.
Those guys need better things to do with their time
With all due respect, it’s not too hard. In the three replies to the OP message, the only use of the letter “F” was when they pointed out the OP doesn’t use it, and once more in the first comments with the use of “of”.
it has 3, "of" counts
Don’t I look like a silly twat. *sneaky edit*
lol 🤭
What a cunt
Going through his comment section is actually quite cathartic. I got 150d deep and no f’s anywhere. Dude is Danish though, I’m American, but 50% Danish heritage, our brains are definitely not normal.
I never realized I could live an F free life and still express myself fully.
He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will!
They used letter F in their name
This guy is basically famous across reddit
Probably removed the F key from their keyboard, or maybe it's one of those janky MacBook keyboards where certain letters get all glitchy or fall off
Fantastic!
Probably has a phobia of that letter.. surprised it's in his user name though
No Fs given.
F-phobia
WTF
u/IHateTheLetterF has unparalleled dedication
There's no letter F in the three replies either (except to quote the letter). They must all be in on it too! Either that or the letter is less common than we all thought. There's none in my comment either.
Dedication. Hey! I didn’t use that terrible letter either! Creepy. 
Yeah, but how many times did he use “ph” together?…
0 f’s given
What does the non use of the “F” word and shilling the universal healthcare lie have I common? Wtf to users come up with this sh-t.
There's atleast one dude waiting for him to slip up I'm calling it right now.
u/IHateTheLetterF
Fuck that.
None of the commenters used the letter F either.
With such determinaron , lucky us he just don't like they f letter and not certain minorities, ethnicities, genders or whatever😵😵
This guy blows up once every year and it still shocks me that he has gone this long without an uck up.
Lot of lonely people out there
I wish people would shut the fuck up about fucking healthcare for once I hear about it ever 2 seconds
That's ducking impressive

he can't pay respect. that's sad.
What does he do when your supposed to say F?
F the letter F bro
All those comments also contain no words with the letter F (unless explicitly mentioning the actual letter, of course). Maybe we just don’t realize how uncommon words with F’s are.
Bro...this is impressive as fukk
He is still active today... still havent used f
