that was one of the thinnist arguements i've ever heard! i can only hope that he gets beaten to death with a dictionary for his stupidity. apart from a few variations in the pronunciation of certain words and vowels, the english language is the english language where ever you go, even if gw are infamous for their inability to use it properly in their publications. i can assure you my american friend that A means the same thing in the uk as it does in your own home town.
"up to two terminators may replace their storm bolters with either an assault cannon at +20 points or heavy flamer at +10 points or add A Cyclone missile launcher to their existing weaponry for +25 points"
as to the wording of the options for termies, heres my thinking. "upto 2 terminators..." tells us that 2 termies are afforded the options under discussion. the "A", which i assume isn't upper case in the codex, lets us know that the cyclone is an option for each termie, and that 1 model cannot have 2 cyclones or another weapon from the list and a cyclone. as an after thought, the only reason it doesn't say "..a assult cannon.." is that it would grammatically incorrect, just as "..an cyclone.." would be.
