"give me an L!"

if you enjoy Literati ,you may have ever seen this sentence next to the Literati image on the yahoo game page.
i am not english speaker.english grammar as i've learned,
"an" is used if the noun starts with vowel letters.such as a,e,i,o,u.
but this case,just "L" is all letter of noun.
why is "an" used?

I'm 21 so I'd like to see if people my age or older ever remember learning in school "in between" as having both words connected (thus 'inbetween'). Or am I going crazy? If so I have no idea where I picked up connecting the two words, any clues?
