Get the a mug.
Used before nouns and noun phrases that denote a single but unspecified person or thing: a region; a person.
Used before terms, such as few or many, that denote number, amount, quantity, or degree: only a few of the voters; a bit more rest; a little excited In writing, the form a is used before a word beginning with a consonant sound, regardless of its spelling (a frog, a university). The form an is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound (an orange, an hour). ·An was once a common variant before words beginning with h in which the first syllable was unstressed; thus 18th-century authors wrote either a historical or an historical but a history, not an history. This usage made sense in that people often did not pronounce the initial h in words such as historical and heroic, but by the late 19th century educated speakers usually pronounced initial h, and the practice of writing an before such words began to die out. Nowadays it survives primarily before the word historical. One may also come across it in the phrases an hysterectomy or an hereditary trait. These usages are acceptable in formal writing.

"A" is far from a simple, harmless word. It is the beginning of the dictionary and the start of people following all the words and ideas that plato handed down to us. The way is not the worded way. Words are just ideas; starting with the word "a," all other words and ideas follow. All words are defined by other words. Do any of them mean anything ? Once a person said he didn't believe in "a," he was shot by the leader who said, "anyone else not believe in "a?". Soon everyone was using the term. That's how all our words got to be accepted. "A" means separate, or individual, and when one thinks about it nothing is separate or individual. This type of division has been the start of all war, and has led to the current world situation.
"Once eddy believed in words and ideas, starting with the word "a," it was easy to get him to be a good little tax payer, kill people he didn't know, as a soldier, and spend his life working, killing, and dodging bullets, instead of living." We could be working 6 hours per year for a middle class life instead of 5200 hours. We could have no war, prison, slavery, slave mastery, super rich, super poor, or "peace," which has led to war more than any other idea. If we are going to use words, we should re-write the dictionary starting with the letter "a." Eliminate negaive concepts, and the positive concepts will follow. Speak American in the U.S. We are the only major country in which a foreign language (English) is spoken as the standard accepted language. .
