Hello? What difference do you spot? I've been staring at this a while.
"a item" vs "an item"
While we're on AppleScript's grammar, I'll mention again the incorrect
usage of "it's" as possessive.
(But I gave up on that crusade with respect to AppleScript long ago, at a
time when the grammar crimes in the French dialect were much worse. The
French dialect was fixed by deletion, which we would prefer not happen with
AppleScript.)
