Using 'a' instead of 'an' before a word beginning with vowel, makes me uncomfortable. Not that it exactly bothers me but I cringe when I see it

I was going to say none but then I saw this. I'll never understand why they say that.

"i lucked out"
any normal person would think this means "my luck ran out", whereas in the US & A it means the exact opposite

Probably this. I've only heard it a few times but it really doesn't sound right when a British person is saying it.
The upward inflection thing- I wouldn't say it annoys me massively but I definitely notice it more now. I went through a phase in my teens where I picked this habit up. My mum used to always point it out & have a go at me whenever I did it..
