The Washington Post said the Waukesha massacre was “caused by a SUV.”

Fortunately, the internet archive has a copy of the tweet at this link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20211125033742/https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1463686399123730443
The tweet says:
“Here’s what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by a SUV.”
Here’s a screenshot taken from the archive:
Also, since “SUV” is pronounced as “ess yoo vee,” the correct article is “an,” not “a.” At least, that’s what I remember being taught when I was in elementary school back in the 1970s. Was my teacher wrong? Is my memory wrong? Have the rules of grammar been changed? Or is the Washington Post being run by people who don’t know the basic rules of grammar?

Happiness is a warm SUV. SUV's don't kill, people kill.
We must go after the manufactures of these deadly SUVs.

No, you’re right. Should be “an.”

Must’ve been the same spirit that causes firearms to spontaneously jump up and start killing people!

And if you have an AR15 in your SUV it’s positively a mass murder machine.

The writer wishes to spend time parsing the article a vs an. I’d rather make an argument against using the word “tragedy” in situations where there is intentional and preventable human caused malice resulting in injury or death. An earthquake or tornado which kills is a tragedy, as they are also unpreventable. A POS filthy aspiring rapper (aka “loser”) who runs over babies with “AN” SUV is a slaughter, or massacre, or act of terrorism. It’s not some damn Shakespearian act of romantic fate.

I guess the brake and accelerator were too close together and that caused the driver to go roaring through the crowd veering from side to side to hit as many people as possible ...
Or maybe it was an "autonomous vehicle" that just didn't like White people ...

My first thought was we need commonsense SUV control.

At least it wasn’t one of those deadly AR-15 suvs.

Calling it the “Washington Compost” doesn’t do compost justice.
