## Examples

```rust
use in_definite;

let result = in_definite::get_a_or_an("alien");
assert_eq!("an", result);
```

```rust
// Irregular word
let result = in_definite::get_a_or_an("unicorn");
assert_eq!("a", result);
```

```rust
// Title Case
let result = in_definite::get_a_or_an("Ugly");
assert_eq!("An", result);
```

```rust
let result = in_definite::is_an("alien");
assert_eq!(in_definite::Is::An, result);
```

```rust
let result = in_definite::is_an("unicorn");
assert_eq!(in_definite::Is::A, result);
```

## Deviations from the original `indefinite`

Upper/lower/mixed case handling: 
- a word like THIS will be always considered to be an acronym.
- normally the result is lower case ('a' or 'an')
- title case is handled as: 'Ugly' -> 'An'
- mixed case is handled as: 'uGly' -> 'an'

Adverbs:
- Handles adverbs with '-ly' in a *generic* manner. Example: "a ubiquitously"
