>>Hi everyone,

>>I have a little bit of a problem today with my English grammar. In an article I'm proof-reading I see word series used as a single, e.g. with "a" article or with "this" article. I think, it should be changed to "the" and "these", but I started to feel uncertain about it.

Thanks, Hilmar. I don't know, why I was so confused today. Ok, it would be quite interesting to find similar words in English, where the single and plural forms are the same. And also if the word is in plural, but used as a single.

What are your examples?

Thanks.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
