Correct me if I am wrong, but do you not use 'an' when the following word begins with a vowel like sound?

No but yes.

Grammatically it's not correct. The "AN" is only used to prelude a word that starts with a vowel.

Now...when you say what you wrote down out loud...it sounds correct.

The grammar Nazi will hang you for using it...but at the same time nobody would said: "a LOL".

It sounds like your saying AOL.

I'd like a roast beef and cheddar cheese sandwich for this special occasion.

I'm pretty sure this is entirely wrong. You don't say "an unique perspective" it's "a unique persepective". For the same reason, if LOL is pronounced "el oh el", then it is "an LOL" not "a LOL".

If the word sounds like it starts with a vowel use "an", otherwise use "a". Whether or not it actually starts with a vowel is irrelevant.
