Bug description:  Just a grammar/syntax note on "an unique"

Description:
------------
Just a note on the English documentation.

There are several places where "an unique [something]" appears in the
docs.  (E.g., in http://us3.php.net/hw .)

This is obviously not a big deal, but these should all read "a unique"
because a/an usage in English is dependent on sound, not on whether the
following letter is literally a vowel or consonant.  Unique is pronounced
as beginning with a consonant "y" sound, as in "you," so it takes "a".

A unique opportunity.

Sorry if I've reported this in the wrong place.

Thanks for such a great product, by the way.
