Thanks for contributing - however it is not correct. The * is an asterisk
not a star so it is perfectly correct for it to be AN and not A

If you want to change it for your own site you can do so with a language
override https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_Overrides_in_Joomla

Maybe change it to "All fields with an asterisk (*) are required."? That would avoid the cognitive mismatch for those folks who read it as "a star".

@chrisdavenport
tbh, such a change is a bit useless and would force TTs to also look at this change, specially when some use Transifex.
