I am reading a book called "the book that made your world". When I read the Forward, the first sentence struck me as something odd. It reads, "In polite society, the mere mention of the Bible often introduces a certain measure of anxiety. "
"In polite society" seems to be the problem for me.
I thought it should be "In a polite society", as the word "society" is countable.
My question:
1, is "in polite society" correct, or it means something different?
2, is "in a polite society" better? or is it the correct form?
