"A" sqrl -- it starts with a consonant.

I'm with himespau, and I want to see the end of this, because I know you'll just ask again, and nobody wants that. Sqrl=girl, and sqrlfriend=girlfriend. If you had read a few pages of any long-standing thread, you really should have been able to pick up on context. Not very hard.

Any idea when BD will start selling the SQRL, guys?

and dammit, they just shut off the lights at my work. I'm off to go find some toilet tanks to poop in as my revenge. ****ers will never know what hit 'em.

Yeah, I give up on knowing what sqrl means. There is too much misinformation. But I read it aloud as a sequence of letters: S-Q-R-L. So according to section 10.9 of the Chicago Manual of Style, it is proper to use the article "an" rather than "a" for preceding sqrl.
From CMoS:
10.9“A,” “an,” or “the” preceding an abbreviation
When an abbreviation follows an indefinite article, the choice of a or an is determined by the way the abbreviation would be read aloud. Acronyms are read as words and are rarely preceded by a, an, or the (“member nations of NATO”), except when used adjectivally (“a NATO initiative”). Initialisms are read as a series of letters and are often preceded by an article (“member nations of the EU”). See 10.2; see also 7.44.
