An Europan Christmas (Destiny)

I just say Euro + Pen. Eeyore-oh-pan seems to have one too many syllables...

Exactly. I'm trying to figure out why someone would precede "Europan" with "an" instead of "a."

Once, someone corrected me for writing "an HDMI cable". I was told that the correct pronunciation for "h" was "haitch", not "aitch", and therefore it should be "a HDMI cable".

I want to know if something similar is happening, or if it's a typo, or if Hawki is just cool like that.

Hmm, I don't know. Rules be damned, I'd probably go on saying "an HDMI cable" (amusingly Wikipedia has it both ways) but you may be right about "An Europan." Doesn't change the fact that it was an excellent story.
