The change only works if you actually read 'RVN' in your head as "are vee enn" which would seem a bit silly.

When someone writes RVN', 'LVG' etc I don't read the initials, I read it as their actual name.
I still don't understand why 'an RVN' is grammatically correct. This upsets me.
Agreed. An RVN sounds horribly wrong.

I once saw an idiot with a shirt with 'RVP 20' on the back rather than the correct name, I now realise it was probably you or Damo.

That's daft.


I would never get a shirt of a player who no longer plays for us.

If you were to actually say the letters it would start with a vowel sound in 'are' hence you'd want to use 'an' instead of 'a'.

Dhairya Modi. You can still see it in posts where he's quoted. He got it changed because it's his actual full name. Not because he doesn't like the name he signed up with.

That's not good enough I demand to see your birth certificate.
:lol:
Has to be said he's at least put a little bit of effort into his pleading, rather than throwing an iammemphis-esque hissy fit
I'm actually not bothered either way really but I was eating some chicken in work* and thought I'd throw it out there and see how it goes.

*May not be relevant.
