I raised this question on another language forum and found I was in a minority of one. I hope I'll have more success here; if not, I'll have to get my hearing checked.
I have noticed an increasing tendency for the indefinite article to be omitted in speech when the following word is an adjective beginning with a schwa sound. So, for example, people say, “It was amazing experience” instead of “It was an amazing experience”.
Has anyone else noticed this?
