Do you have a "I am God" delusion?

"an" I am God delusion, surely, even if the quote is inserted before the word beginning with a consonant?

No, "an" would be wrong here, since I did want it to read as "anI". The use of "a" creates a pause before the quote to create emphasis. cf Mayhew 1872 "The Art of Poetry" p. 192-195.

I think pilchards might be just below lug-worm and amoebas in the grand scale of things. ..0

You could be masquerading as him, or he as you.
