I'm with setanta dude, "an" is only used if the next word starts with a vowel, not because it sounds like it starts with a vowel. It may sound better to say an before std, but it's not grammatically correct. aren't you AN english teacher setanta? I'm an engineer, so it's easy for me to be wrong, but I can pretend I know everything.
