    There we go, you see it in "a Dutch" and "an Irish" too, because they're singular and plural, and don't see it in stuff like "a Pole" or "a Scot" because they have a different plural form.
    Guess I was wrong, for once it is an actual rule.

      Who knows if its an actual rule though? I think -ese can be singular as well as plural, so it should be fine, but it sounds wack. Maybe it's a rule like "I before E, except after C (weird!)"
