OP Another sign that English is going to heck in a teapot.
1. A few items were left off the list.
a. Using a with a plural noun.
b. A plural noun that does not take -s: i.e., few.
c. A noun used as an adjective.
d. Also works with good many and great many.
e. In times past, used to use the partitive genitive with of.
f. I am sure grammar mavens are losing sleep over this, right now, somewhere.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
