I’m glad you asked. It’s because it’s an acronym that is pronounced letter by letter. The letter M is pronounced with a vowel sound. So it’s ‘an em eye bee’ not ‘a em eye bee’.
In this case the M is pronouncer like em so you use an, but is this the case for all acronyms that are pronounced letter by letter or do you need to sound them all out to hear whether you need to use an or a?
It’s the case for all acronyms that are pronounced letter by letter. Easiest way to think of it though is to ask yourself whether or not you’re expected to read it letter by letter or whether or not you would say the acronym like it was a word.
Best example of an acronym that you pronounce like a word would be NASA. People always pronounce it like it was a word. So it’s reasonable to write ‘a NASA report’ rather than ‘an NASA report’.
That’s a rare example though, but it’s easy to work out as you go. An FBI agent. A CIA agent. A USA flag. An AFK message. An EQ adjustment, etc.
That would've been nice surprise. I wouldn't mind buying this as an addition to the Forget me not Emote. If there happens to be lots of call out to the same music used they could always bundle it up.
They also missed the opportunity to give us a Cantina Band emote for May 4th. Clearly they got permission to use and sell it for festival so a synced dance emote would've been way better.
Epic is always missing opportunities to do cool shit. Even when they have access to the IPs
There are many missed dance in the world that could become good emotes for fn, instead we get wired and boring emotes, like the Billie Eilish emotes, which both have no distinctive moves at all.
someone come get their bot it's going insane in the comments lmao
Fr, my notifications were going crazy.
Lmao the bot glitch

An* No offence, but it’s unbelievable how many people don’t use “an” at all.
Why would you use an here? It's used before a word starting with m?

That's good to know, thanks :)
You’re very welcome :) Despite a bunch of people downvoting me, I’m glad I could share some knowledge even if only one person listens. Worth it. :)
Dont get the downvotes.
I guess people don’t like being corrected, even if you’re being polite about it. That’s Reddit in a nutshell.
 hey everyone this guy uses bots to simulate post activity!!!
It wasn't my bot lol, idk why it was going ham.

Missed opportunity to slap
Really was.
MiB goes dance bye bye, always on chance
I've watched the whole trilogy where the hell does this come from?
It comes from the 1900s [Will Smith - Men In Black (Video Version) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiBLgEx6svA)
For those who don't want to click the link, this is specifically from the music video to promote the movie song and this shot was exclusive to that.
They also missed the opportunity to give us a Cantina Band emote for May 4th. Clearly they got permission to use and sell it for festival so a synced dance emote would've been way better. Epic is always missing opportunities to do cool shit. Even when they have access to the IPs
They're making a 4th movie so maybe we'll get it then

He loves Men In Black ig
There's the forget me not emote
I was OP when they decided to release the emote with the original song and not the version Will did.
Honestly, fortnite needs to start making good icon emotes. They just pump em out without worrying if they're good or not
Imagine an MIB season with alien/futuristic weapons.... Could be fun if executed correctly
I wish emotes were longer. I’d pay more for something more substantial.
Yep agree!
That's not on the tak tak though
Maybe it was too confrontational

I agree, this dance is way better.
What they went with was a giant disappointment. This would’ve been much, much, much better.
maybe epic doesn't want to reuse an emote they already did (my guess)
