My application of the my pronunciation of both is probably incorrect(I am an English/grammar basic by default). With that said. I do tend to use them individually when spoken. I 'feel' that their individual expression can carry more flow when used in the following manner.

John kept making the same mistake 'a gain' and 'a gain', seemingly for no reason at all.

And...

John has done it yet 'a gen'.

Just me and who ever else I suppose.

Thanks for making me think :)

Edit: strikethrough and following word

All the best,

peace...

The latter, unless I'm trying to sound fancy British then the former.

There is a north/south divide here I think. South says again.

You limey bastards are always using silly words like "latter" and "former."

I say a gen, but now that you mention it, a gain sounds more sophisticated
